"... I think that's the worst of it for today. Everyone should get back to their duties."

Motioning for the lot of the workers to return to their stations, the man looks around afterward with a frown on his face, almost confused by this turn of events. He can't say that the sandstorms are unexpected-- in fact, he'd come into contact with quite a few of them since he'd arrived in the city-- but they'd become more frequent little by little. Shy a month ago they'd numbered in at least one every few days at the least, now they were a constant thing-- a reminder that this mecca hidden in the golden desert surely was something meant to protect them all. He held no doubts that the walls would hold, but he always had to think ahead... what if they didn't? What if the copious amounts of sand and relentless battering of the walls served to shatter not only their defenses, but their spirits? In essence, he had no idea... however, he did have work to do, that much was a fact.

Having arrived in Unaybis a bit less than a month prior, he'd taken to joining along with a guild of merchants-- they took him under their wing, and after having increased their stocks by a rather hefty amount he'd been promoted to the position he was in mayhaps a week before now. He couldn't say that he was used to having this much power-- as little as it was-- but it was something he'd been given due to his hard work, so who was he to deny it? Stepping across the guildhall with his arms crossed and his pipe in hand, the man would find himself sooner than later reaching the doors of the headquarters-- their compound. Pushing past them to the buzz and glowing outdoors, he'd make his way around the city, stepping lightly against the compact sands.

It was around lunchtime, wasn't it? Why not get something to eat?

Making his way to the nearest-- and cheapest-- spot, he'd enter through the revolving doors and take a seat, resting his arms on the counter while speaking out his order. "I'd fancy something light to eat... maybe bamia and koshari. Beer too, against my better wishes." As it was said, it was done... at least they started on his order for the most part. Placing his pipe in his mouth and letting out smoke from between his lips, he'd wait.
