The moment that Roy left the plaza, the main attraction was gone so all the Elders, Earl Clark, and the Guild Master had nothing else to do but to continue with the usual deals and perfunctory words.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that everyone was doing their job while lost in their own thoughts, as they dispersed from the plaza.
In the meantime, Alma was directing Roy towards the Blue Courtyard which was one of the most luxurious and comfortable courtyards of the merchant guild.
Surely there were people that would be dissatisfied with the Guild Master about this decision of his, thinking that accommodating Roy like that was a slap to their own face.
Not only had Roy insulted and received money from their 3rd Elder and his son, but he had also reproached them with his words all the time at the plaza.
