The elf had Alistair's trust at Zevran, and now he has his interest as well, beyond the usual sort of interest Alistair bestows on any stranger who seems to be looking for him. They don't all bring him presents.
He comes out further from beyond the half-wall he'd been sleeping behind. The dog nearest the elf still has eyes only for him--or perhaps for his cheese--but there are two more where she came from. Neither is a mabari, at least not full-blooded, but they're massive just the same. Alistair puts a hand on one of their heads.
"Are you here to ask a favor?" he says. "Did he tell you to bribe me with cheese? Because that will absolutely work."
