The coffee shop that Sill, the Black Market store clerk, found for them was a luxurious and quiet place, far nicer than Max had expected from the lower levels of a production megacity. That likely meant that they were in the tourist areas, where visitors were brought to see the "Real Sights" of the planet, but all Max could see and sense nearby were locals.
He looked around in appreciation, and Nala chuckled. "Think of this more like a high-class red-light district. Nobody comes here during the daytime. Once it gets evening up above, the lights here will be dimmed and the shops will really start doing business.
About this time of day, everyone is just waking up and getting things ready, most of the shops aren't even open here unless they cater to the workers."
Max laughed. "So they really do think that you struck it big if I'm still here in the morning. Hopefully, the coffee is good."
