Yes, Bahzell would be willing to greet a stranger so warmly.
However, this hradani was acting as would a tavern owner would to a traveler coming in out of the rain not as a guest in the tavern would act.
If it was Bahzell, as a guest in the tavern, why would he call out to another guest about bringing food to a fellow traveler?
The hradani's words are those of the owner of the tavern or a person in charge of the tavern.

Why do people assume Bahzell is tending the bar? It seems fully in character for him to be sitting at the entrance of the common room at the inn where he is spending the night and warmly greeting anyone who comes in. Spending a night in an inn while traveling is fully in character. And if warmly embracing a strange poor man who walked in isn't normal for him, it isn't all that abnormal either and, maybe Himself gave an order.
At this point I see no reason not to believe that this is our Bahzell and Leeana traveling together on business with a party of friends and retainers.
The direcat is new but I thought DW said this story was going to be set a number of years in the future and Bahzell has plenty of friends connected with Gods who might have acquired one in all kinds of ways.
