As she walked through the crowds of people in the heavy buissness district of Seander she could not help but pick up bits of peoples conversations. She could not help but store that information away, at least for a while, even if it was useless, it was her job afterall. Being trained in the art of a Listener had made her a careful woman so she never lingered too long when on these wlaks, she did not want to be found out, her eyes would be forever lowered if she was found to be a Listner.
"There is no way she could have known about that, no way at all" Sanelle stoppedto listen, pretending she was looking at some apples on a stall. The speakers were woman, both around their middle years, their slurred accents were easily understood to her, as she had one herself, even though it was rather minor compared to the speakers. She smiled to herself, this listening would get her nowhere, she thought, but she liked to practice her skills all the same. It was then that she stole a quick look over her shoulder at the women, they were talking quieter now, and she could not hear them, she could snesk over but it was not worth the effort. Just then as she turned back around she saw somebody look at her and smile, panick swept through her, what if they knew? What if they suspected?
Moving away from where she had stood she try to get away, however she walked in to sombody and looking up seen the same smiling face, what if they knew?
