Tavern
What little coin he did have on hand he needed to keep. In his business, you needed money to make money. But tonight the raucous conversations, laughter and music from the tavern had been a siren song he couldn't resist. Or perhaps he could blame the pretty barmaid who'd practically forced a bottle of wine on him. Oddly enough she'd disappeared after he'd given her the coin for his drink.

As tempting as getting drunk and wallowing a bit over his current situation was, he kept a keen eye open for card games or even the opportunity for a bit of conversation with someone interesting. One never knew when a simple conversation would turn into something more lucrative.

An empty seat catches his eye, wine bottle in hand, he saunters over, offering the stranger a smile, "Is this seat taken?"

Merchant Stalls
Balthier wasn't buying, or selling anything. Not yet. Wandering through the stalls, he was idly perusing the goods, taking stock of the kinds of things available. Although not ideal, the collection of merchant stalls was a decent place to look for business, to keep an ear out for anyone not finding what they're looking for.

Letting himself get a little too distracted by a particularly shiny necklace, which seems to be catching the midday sun just right, he nearly bumps into another passerby. "My apologies. I should be watching where I'm going."

[Wild card, anywhere else around or just outside Skyhold]

Well, it certainly seems he's missing something. Curious as Twisted Fate is, he isn't going to be digging into questions just yet regarding that. It does strike him as suspicious that Balthier isn't on his ship, but something clearly has had to have happened.

In due time, maybe.

"That they are, I'm afraid. Let's not forget the red lyrium and the rampaging Templars and the groups of Venatori around. Not a fan of it myself."

Twisted Fate laughs softly. "I assure you, there's always an opportunity. Though it doesn't run as well as I'd like, but your purse won't be empty. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon so we can get back to our lives, hm?"
