Asher continued to listen to the mercenaries tell him about the city, as well as explaining small things here and there. Since he didn't know much about city life in general, there were a lot of things that were common sense that he simply didn't understand.
As such, it helped him a lot, and he paid attention to all of them carefully, especially things like the differing set of rules between each region of the city. The rules were mostly simple other than security measures like curfew timings at night.
The Outer region had the strictest curfew, being set at Nine PM. If someone was caught outside at that time, depending on their luck, they might get off with something as simple as a warning to getting imprisoned.
