If in his staring he examines the wizard gear closely, he'll see it comes with authentic travel stains and signs of wear. Quality stitching and a quality patch in a slightly different shade of grey reinforcing one of the elbows. The walking stick is also quite sturdy.

There's a bit of a twinkle in his eyes as he responds.]

I imagine there are a great many things with which you could help me in due time, but for the present I am looking for someone to share in an adventure.
