Bearings... Yes, well...how much did she know about Adela? Perhaps of how the people of this land were all dark-skinned, or that they had an impressive military and dragon riders? What about the highly-forested areas around the city of Ketra, where they were? It was a very large place, lots of activity, and in the middle of it...her little buyer had decided to amble along and look insane.
"Weee, waggah, booga, boom-boom, bawaaah, heeeeep!"
This had the effect of people not wanting to be around him, and in fact to try their damnedest to ignore him. So far, so good. Of course, at the edge of town, there was a very clear "Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..." as he dropped the act and began to whistle a tune. They were a bit along a path when he decided to stop and turn to the cage with the coyote in it. There, in a completely sane and even possibly gentlemanly voice, he spoke directly to Kasa.
"You're probably wondering how it is I spotted you so easily. Well, the truth is, in the same manner in which an animal's sense of smell shows them things that no one other may know, I can see things that others cannot. For instance, the aura of a magical being."
And as one who shapeshifts from human form into an animal form, Kasa had an aura different from a normal person. She stood out to whatever sort of sight this guy made use of. The goblin-in-disguise grinned and there were teeth there that no human being would have, most definitely.
"You're probably wondering just what it is I'm up to. Well, you see, I'm-"
"Hey, you!"
"...apparently needed, at the moment."
Two men were coming out of the brush. They were armed with blades.
"Lookit 'im, talking to a wolf like that."
"Coyote."
"Whatever. We saw you in town, wandering about."
"Oh? Can I do you something, good sirs?"
"Oh yeah, certainly. I'll be having that money on yer belt, and the cart, and everything in the cart. Just drop it an' run like a good little dwarf."
The goblin shook his head, hands at his hips.
"Oh, dear. A robbery. But you're doing all wrong."
He reached up and pulled the mask off as he tossed the hat away, revealing a dark-skinned creature with yellow-glowing eyes and a highwayman's black mask!
"The line is Stand And Deliver!"
In a swift motion, he reached into his clothes and pulled out two curved daggers leapt at whichever man was more surprised by his appearance. It would be then that Kasa might notice...that her cage was unlocked! When did that happen? Had he really moved his hands so quickly? Who was this guy?
