Felix pauses for a moment at the mouth of the alley, before he steps out into the bustling street. "Let's not clutter things up with any unnecessary bodies. But if you spy, say, any cutpurses with their sights on me, I'd be obliged if you prevented them from making a scene."
Among other things, it would be inconvenient to misplace the portal key...
With that, it's out into the crowd of people hurrying variously to homes, inns, chapel, or the last chance to visit the shops. It's a mixed crowd of sailors, tradespeople, adventurers and artists belonging to every race in the Empire. There's a slight predominance of humans - mainly Imperials, of course - but also many Argonians, Khajiit and elves. (Very few High Elves, to Felix's eyes, but he understands that.)
Naugus needn't worry about any delays; Felix assumes they'll find a bookshop easily and so they do, a well-appointed little place where the Orcish owner is just lighting the lamps. He's only too happy to supply a customer who already knows what he wants and isn't going to rib him about his choice of trade.
