[Liem tapdances his way across town... Or: it's a little bit of Liem's apparent natural sneakiness and Anders' baseline assumption that anyone trying to get the drop on him is a) actually doing that, or b) doing it to Get Him. It's fine now! This droll man in his dark glasses is probably not doing those things. He's decided.

Anders shrugs and turns a few more pages of the book, to really marvel at all the severe lack of real writing in this thing. Maybe it was a real book once, but whatever text it might have contained is too obscured now...]

Maybe I'm just cleverer than they are. [lol] Or they wanted to leave before I started asking real questions.

[Well, whatever! He shuts the book and tucks it under his arm, giving Liem a raised eyebrow. Hmm.]

How polite is it to eavesdrop when I'm being swindled? Unless you're in the market for a cursed tome— I happen to have acquired one fairly recently.
