[ the man seems to know the alleyways of the lower district of el minha like the back of his hand, navigating the narrow causeways of syndicate territory. however, at a juncture where he can either go right or left, he seems to . . hesitate. and, slowly, he makes his way left, slipping into the shadows, though a lot less sure of foot than he had been before.
eventually, if sam chooses to still follow, they come out to a smaller open-aired market -- nowhere near as grand and illustrious as the grand market in the wealthier section of el minha. this seems to be a lot seedier, more "black market" fare, and the eyes in this place seem to be a little more skeptical of folks who haven't been here before. still, no one seems to say anything, and so the man keeps moving, and ducks into an alcove on the right, in between two stalls.
should sam follow him, there is -- no one there. it's almost as if the man vanished.
whether or not he did vanish might require a bit more poking.
meanwhile, an older woman is washing clothes in the alleyway giving sam something of a questioning look, skeptical of the outsider, but definitely not hostile. she's hanging up linens to dry and collecting up a new basket to move inside. ]
