[ This is evidently the first time she is doing this, anyone can tell and she knows it; it is clear by the little frown, the uncertainty. there is nervousness and fear, too, but those she knows how to hide. A moment later and the confusion is tucked away and she offers a little graceful bow ]
Fellow residents, I hope this finds you well.
[ She knows grace well, the girl. The one who came before wore it a little better than her but a baseborn girl must not have the gracefulness of a highborn lady. ]
I am Alayne Stone, a newcomer to your city. Some of you I have met already, those who have been kind enough to help me upon my arrival, my thanks to you.
[ she tucks a strand of chestnut brown hair behind an ear ]
I ask for advice and counsel. I know little of the ways of the city nor what is expected of me during my stay. I know of the gods, a little.
[ and already she fears them, all of them ]
Are there any vendors in the city? I am searching for fabrics, in specific and if - if there is a need for tunics or breeches or dresses, I would be pleased to offer my services, I was oft told my stitch-work and embroidery are pleasing.
[ a breath. she attempts a smile ]
My thanks for your time and your counsel.

[Actually, if Adam thinks about it, all his friends are in Hadriel. He didn't have many at home - never very good at making them - and somehow what few he has have all found their way here. He is very lucky.]
Are you living alone, or have you found people to stay with?

[ she isn't entirely certain it's true. mayhaps lonely and safe is preferable to the crowded King's Landing that never held any true friends for Sansa Stark but mayhaps it is all different for this boy, mayhaps his world is a shade kinder than her own. ]
With another girl, we have found each other and though we are new to one another, we keep house well enough.

[Which, luckily, it is. Adam is not particularly trusting or fond of people. If his friends weren't here, there's no doubt that he'd be living alone. That would be a lot less safe, he thinks.]
It's good that you've found someone to stay with already. Have you settled in well?
