The mage-apprentice who brought me down here. Which is almost funny, one of the other apprentices was wearing the same sign. I couldn't help but wonder if he was calling out that one's flaws directly.

The guards talk, too. You can ask them about some of the signs, get a little information. If you looks harmless and bookish and lost, you can get away with a good few questions.

[And Jean has taken advantage of this, because he has glasses and looks soft if you don't look at the calluses on his hands and the musculature of his arms. He can pass for some mild-mannered merchant quite easily.]
