The whole debacle over Nate's situation, and waiting for Anders to get back, is actually not immediately on Teren's mind as she makes her way through the market in search of some decent thread. She's still dealing with some of the emotional fallout from it, of course, but Anders is the last person she expects to see on her errand. And yet, there he is. She stops dead, staring at him with a very uncharacteristic air of nervousness. Should she blend back into the crowd, make him believe he's seeing things? No... as surely as she can recognize him, she's certain he'll recognize her. Teren, after all, looks exactly as she did the last time any of them saw her.
She does, at least, go stock still. If he notices her, fine, she'll deal with it. If not... no harm done. Or perhaps lots, but later.
