"Aah to Egypt, I'm afraid no Caravan of mine will be going that way soon. But I do know a man who is sending a group to Egypt. They will be leaving next week, hopefully that's not too late for you. I'm sure they will be happy to have a group of people comfortable with the sward with them. The roads aren't all that safe these days. My last Caravan coming from Constantinople got attacked 3 times in 2 days and if it wasn't for the extra guard I had send with them nothing would've arrived...." Hormoz again goes on a tangent until Seth stops him to continue the conversation.

I'm assuming you walked to a quieter place maybe to his store to have this conversation, as opposed to out in the open with everyone else listening.
