There's a performer in the streets, dressed in tasteful silks. He has drawn a middling-sized crowd and - to those in the know - is reciting lines from a popular Camelot play. There are other actors with him but he appears to be the central figure, drawing attention in the way that the others cannot. Or perhaps they are deliberately allowing him to take it? Either way it's quite a deft manipulation of attention.

When the performance is over, the small troupe takes a bow to applause. Not a few toss coins into a discreet box placed at the front of their invisible stage, watched by a sharp-eyed familiar. While most of the crowd begins to disperse, quite a few linger to chat and mingle with the actors.

There's a draconic creature waiting near the sleep-inducing field of flowers. A terrifying-looking thing at first glance, but Emet-Selch is simply bored. He has already tried to fly over on his own, thinking to retrieve an egg without help, only to discover his smaller arms are woefully inadequate for digging. So here he is, waiting for someone to show up who looks burly enough to fulfil the digging role.

He can't speak in this form, but upon seeing another familiar he perks up and utters an odd sort of bark to get their attention.
