Success

"Another time. I must... go."

You catch only snatches of conversation before the Eavesdropper shuffles away. Still, it's enough to glean your mark's mood, and that they aren't comfortable with the scheme he's concocting. And you, in contrast, can appear reassuringly guile free.


Failure

"Good day. Such a surprise, seeing you here. Were you requiring me for anything?"

Your mark seems unconvinced by your protestations that you were merely taking the air. "In a fish market?"
