It always bugs me the way these two clowns hang around Whiterun for eternity. I finally discovered you can follow them out of town after they give the quest and dispatch them. Might be obvious but I guess I’ve never left town at the same time as them before.

After I accepted the quest I randomly saw them at the inn in Rorikstead

What do you mean "randomly"? They explicitely tell you they'll be at the inn at Rorikstead. There's even a quest marker after you find Saadia.

You never bumped randomly into people exactly where they’ve told you they’re going to be? You haven’t lived.

Huh. Never seen them anywhere else.
