Orchard passes along with observations of Linzi. A little bit of humility, a little bit of self-deprecation makes Orchard feel he's the last person who should speak with the Halfling. If she's indeed looking for who'll be the hero of the Stolen Lands surely it'll be one of the others. The merchants are the ones who trade and sell the right item to the hero, are not the ones whose efforts are praised in story and song.
And Orchard feels content with that.
Of those guests who still seem cool towards the group, Orchard feels his best chance at a decent first impression is with Valerie. Tartuccio didn't work out well, and Jaethal is more than a little intimidating.
"Greeting Lady Valerie. I am... well, just here to help out a little. With trade. Couldn't help but think the animals will be a part of that. Livestock, companions, perhaps most important horses. Don't suppose you'd have an opinion on that, what you'd recommend and not? Have but a few ideas of my own..."
It feels as if the chatter is starting to die down, a relief to the out-of-place young man. Still, successful or not he accepts he's done his best.
