[It was fortunately a quiet day in town. John might notice that despite it being technically mid-winter in the rest of the world, the town felt and looked as if it were permanently caught in the grip of a late autumn. Not many people saw the man for the oddity he truly was, those who would know him for that were busy in their own various ways.
The fact that John happened to pick a shop holding one of those few people was pure chance...or was it?
Hearing the bell ring upon the other man's entry, Gold looked up from the piece he had been polishing. He noted the grin silently as well as the fact he was a stranger and was here while the curse was still active, definite red flags all three. He observed him for a silent second more before he finally spoke up keeping his tone casual as if actually having an actual customer within his shop wasn't an unusual occurrence for him.]
[ It is a bit odd to see everyone minding their own business. With such a powerful barrier over the town? Well, it is a bit surprising no one seems to notice the stranger striding around like he owns the joint. Not that John usually doesn't think that way when he arrives somewhere. Usually he knows more of what is going on than everyone else. ]
Just uh, wondering if you could give me some directions, mate. [ John pulls the cigarette out of his mouth. He keeps it in his hand though. ] I don't suppose you would know where a bloke could spend the night in town before moving on.
