Greetings

Gularzob could smell an increase of adrenaline on the air, a clear sign that the human was alerted either to his presence or that there was something amiss. It was not a substantial increase as if he were already committed to a fight, only a slight bump where the man's senses were pushed into overdrive as he scanned. Opening his eyss, he looked up and watched as they came closer, the woman's face coming into more detail and clearly pointed directly at him. Well, it would seem that he had officially been notices, and by the woman's blade on her hip and the man's hand moving to his swors, they suspected he had an intention to fight them.

Looking down at his apron, he dusted off some especially thick coal dust before smacking his hands together to get any excess soot off. Stepping away from the tree, he strode towards the path and towards the duo before holding his hands out slightly with their palms facing them. As they closed in, he put on his best impression of a smile, which looked suspiciously like a baring of the teeth, so he added to his friendly demeanor by speaking, "Greetings, my friends. May I please be the first to welcome you to the grand capital of our Kingdom of Dalen."

Turning to gesture with his left hand towards the stout walls, he smiled again before continuing, "Now, would it be safe to assume that this is your first time in the city?"
