"Are there - is the magician here?" Cadok asks as he and Kelyn meander through the crowds. "You can ask." "Can you?" He looks nervous. "I don't want to talk Ivoryn..." Kelyn obliges, stopping to speak to a pair of uplander women working on some kind of knitting. "Excuse me," she says in Ivoryn, "is there a patterner in the caravan?" "Yes, there is," says one, but then the other speaks up. "But he won't be doing a show." "Oh, that's a shame," Kelyn says, and Cadok looks mournful. "It's... not his sort of thing," the woman explains.
