"I'm just a merchant..." Ayla answered as she took a few steps back.
Ayla was surprised and shocked by how perceptive the Jester was. She looked around and saw that people were ignoring him and the whole situation. She realized the moment she paid attention to him, he knew that she wasn't from around here. The fact that she was the only one who paid attention to him, it was a giveaway of who she was.
"A merchant? At that age?" The Jester tilted his head, taking a huge step toward Ayla, grinning and staring at her. "Are you telling a lie or a lie?" He added as he giggled and kept taking huge steps toward her.
"I'm telling the truth, I got here two days ago with my father. I saw you when we came here, and I was just curious about you," Ayla answered as she walked backward, staring at the Jester with fear in her eyes and in her voice. "I'll get going, I'm sorry..." she said as she turned around and walked at a fast pace.
