That was something he was used to from his time as a scout. You never knew when someone was watching you. He'd show no outward sign of it, but he'd keep his senses out for a sign of who was watching him as he continued on his way.

He'd hear footsteps around him, but be unable to pinpoint their location.
It was definite that he was not just watched, however. He was followed.

All around him made him suspect a Qi trick. Problematic, but fine. He'd continue on his way turning down a few streets to try and isolate the sound and his follower. Somewhere he could double back to get a look at them.

He'd be able to perceive that the footsteps were coming from above him, but he'd fail to see anyone- either they moved before he saw them, or they were a little further away.

He'd look for some walls in tight proximity to each other and attempt to jump off the walls back and forth to get to higher ground!

As he leapt up, and thrust himself above the rooftops, he'd see the problem.
Across several rooftops there were about 20-25 people, crouched, following him. They wore plain black garb, but seemed shocked that he'd suddenly come up.

He'd just stare at them with an expectant look.

They'd slowly stand, and smile. One man with short cropped brown hair stepped forward.
"You are.... Elder Blake Oleander, yes?"
He'd clap a fist to his heart and bow.
"We are from territory 71, the defense force around the Blaze family. Might we ask why you are heading to meet Conor?"
Blake would notice a few of them held beeping devices, and were watching him with hands on swords.

"Uh... King now but yes."
He'd turn to the ones with the beeping devices before returning his gaze back to the lead.
"I have come to talk to him and bring him a gift."

"I see."
They glanced at each other.
"Might we inspect the gift?"

"As long as you are careful with it."
He didn't want them to break it.

He'd nod, and step up to take it. The item would glow for a moment before returning to normal. He'd offer it back to Blake.
"May we ask how you knew where to find him? My team should be the only ones with this knowledge. Even his father doesn't know."

He would take the box back and hold it carefully.
"I was a scout before I was anything more. Finding things was my job."

His brow furrowed.
"Intriguing....does this tie into your Qi?"
It was the only thing he could think of.
"I'm sorry....I'm not sure what you're relationship is with Mr. Blaze, but without permission, I cannot let you near him, as powerful as you are."

"There is no relationship. Hence the introduction gift."
He'd continue watching the men see if anyone made a move.
"And I was born without a Qi."
True enough.
