It's a pleasant day, Robert Callaghan's out to check one of the markets, and if he notices the comical scene going on not a block and a half away-around-a-corner - well, either he's a very good actor, or he's blissfully unaware. He's more taking a moment to glance down at what he has to barter, mostly small pieces that can add up, especially when used in tandem...
...and it's about that time that he's knocked off his feet by a man taking that corner at high speed.
Instinct has him reaching for the nearest steady thing, which happens to be the wall. So, on the bright side, when all those small metal (valuable) pieces go flying, they only go so far. On the down side, he may or may not be half-tangled with the other.
And while Robert doesn't have a certain coat, and he may be wearing some of the more local fashions,...he seems to recognize that suit easily enough.
this was pretty much demanded
