[ it's not weird to size up a person you've just met. gen already got a quick once-over before alhaitham approached him with his question; despite whatever glares drag over this stranger, he seemed amenable enough to give him some insight.
it is weird to take a little too long doing it. alhaitham stands here, arms crossed and eyes trained on gen's until he seemingly finishes his inspection. yes, his clothes are bizarre compared to other citizens. he gets it.
as for the poor stall owner—alhaitham isn't an accomplice or law enforcement, and he's no stranger to making deals under the table in exchange for intel. it's in his best interest to stay out of the situation and hear this person's answers, even if they're inaccurate and especially if they come without a price (so far). that, and there are worse things to steal than a bottle of beer.
alhaitham will keep an eye on his things and let their police force handle him. his eyes flick over gen's shoulder and then back to him. ]
tysm for waiting!
