Well, I didn't ask him right away. We talked about art for awhile--that's actually most of what we discussed. [ There's a slight quirk to Matt's lips, like: yes he did flirt with the vendor, but whistle while you work, you know? ] I really do like the old style of Veneran art better than a lot of what they're doing now. And I put down a deposit on a piece, so that might've helped.
[ The information is unvetted as of now, of course, so there's a distinct possibility that not every piece of it is optimally helpful. Matt's only just realizing that, though. In the moment, the conversation felt so genuine that it hadn't occurred to him. Like what, this nice Veneran might mislead him? Him, a person misrepresenting himself to get information he knew the vendor wouldn't want to give out under normal circumstances?
Matt's feeling a lot of things right now, leftover adrenaline being one of them. On its heels comes an undertow of guilt. If he did get legitimate intel, that'll spell bad things for at least someone in this town. Lethally bad. ]
