Ali Baba looked him up and down, but he couldn't see half his face as it was mostly covered by the shadow from his large hood. He wanted to disagree or demand that he at least show his face, but he didn't want to get in any kind of trouble while Zarqa was depending on him.

Ali Baba busied himself with his own meal, not even looking up at the man sharing his table with him. If he were a shady person, and that's how he looked, then keeping his distance is the best choice.
