Patuq observed from a table not very far from Akar, pretending to pen through a newspaper as he looked through a set of fake spectacles. He wasn't all that fond of disguising his identity, so he took the minimalist approach and simply let his facial hair grow up into a goatee with some 5 o'clock shadow surrounding the rest of his face. As he watched Tetsu work, he faked curiosity as he raised an eyebrow.

While Patuq looked fairly unconcerned and unaware, he was actually on high alert as he allowed his eyes to naturally drift away from the paper to observe his surroundings carefully.
