The innkeeper smiled wryly as Lirian refused to shake his hand as if he was a dirty commoner and he didn't want to get commoner filth on his hands.
Since Lirian couldn't see he couldn't be certain but from the look Izlandi cast at his hand, he was able to conclude that his thoughts were not wrong.
He pulled his hand down on his lap and listened as Lirian introduced himself as Samsara and then introduced Izlandi as his guide.

Lirian and Izlandi had discussed their roles at length before reaching the village, and decided that it would be best for her to act as if she was his guide.
