Engaging with every side-seller and passing vendor, the man plays every bit the part of the newcomer here to get into the ground-floor of the bustling market; his discussions make no secret of attempting to suss out the general content of the library and the current trends. Now and again, he will mention looking for various manga and anime - particularly those containing male characters with blue hair and red eyes** - as well as reputable records of attempted pattern walks.

*: Previous appearances were from tours by Rogers and Jiga, and Abine and Alys.
**: You can find entire sites devoted to sorting anime characters by those features! If asked, he will mention the new Ht'gon Amberite and trying to be prepared. Anyone with blue-hair and red eyes is probably from an anime-inspired shadow, right?
Low-ranked psyche would suggest that the facts he shares are somewhat falsified or speculative and his true motives are for personal profit, while warfare would deduce that the information is deliberately framed in such a way as to provoke demand for the information about Jaeger.
~: Caelund has a few objectives here:
- Learn what he can about this new hunting grounds - topic distribution, market trends, notable players, etc. Whatever might give him an edge.
- Helping him find a good spot to maintain a presence. Given the variety of participants, talking to potential neighbors seems prudent.
- While he's at it, play the market into looking for 'nearly-right-but-not-quite" information on Jaeger. If the information-economy in the Market Library works anything like a stock-market, the gamble is that inflating the price on one commodity drops the relative price of others.
- Which in turn Caelund intends to capitalize on by collecting records of prior pattern walks at a more favorable price.
