A young man (quite young, early teens, if that, smallish, skinny) walks into the bar carrying a folded up cape under one arm and a broom over his shoulder. His clothes are dirty, worn, well-traveled. His black hair falls into his eyes, and he hardly bothers to push it out of his face.
It takes a moment for him to realize that this isn’t the café where he said he’d meet Dorothy after she talked to the Wizard, and when he does, he looks more annoyed than anything at the realization.
“And on top of everything, I’m lost,” he mutters. He hadn’t thought he could get lost, even in the Emerald City. He was sure he’d been paying attention.
He reaches one hand into his pocket, counting the coins there without pulling them out (in case someone watching should decide to relieve him of his small purse), and realizes that he hasn’t enough to purchase a drink here and at the café.
Still, it can’t hurt to stay just a little while in an attempt to get his bearings.

He looks oddly at the broom and cape, but says nothing about them.

He hadn't meant to say that out loud, really.

He's not quite as accomplished a liar as he's learning to be.

He doesn't know what to really say after that, and he just stands awkwardly for a minute. Eventually he gestures at the cape and broom curiously. "What are those for?"

He's far from slow, actually, but he isn't very good at talking to people, especially if he's nervous--or unsure of where he is. Both of which qualify now.
"Especially not with a cape under one arm."

"How else should I carry it?"

He feels like he's getting something wrong, and while Silas is very familiar with this position he very much doesn't like it. It makes him want to fall quiet and leave, find somewhere to hide until everything is forgotten.

"Its Milliways and first drink's free."

Though, of course, that makes him a bit wary. "Why's that?"

William gestures at the Window, he doesn't like looking at it.

"Dead people?" He looks around, half-expecting to see Elphaba sitting in a booth somewhere.

William follows Liir's search but he's looking for his father.

"Then if that didn't wake you up, walk out the front door and go back where you were."
