You know a guy named Arnold Shales? You'd better come take a look.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?No, I've never heard the name.
-walks up, and takes a look at the sign- ... I'm not surprised that something like this exists.
... Wait- do you hear that-?
-there seems to be sounds of discussion behind the door-
-a female voice, as well as a male voice-

Oh that's simple. He just wants him to be in his own personal guard. He said he'd have a family reunion in mind if I could bring him back. I've been such a terrible "father" his whole life, so I may as well give him that much.-Freed rigidly moves his head to the side a little-
-His attention's been caught-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean-Goes quiet, trying to listen in as best as he can-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Listen- I just need you to get booze from Dis! I gave you the contact information- I hate being sober.
And that'd be easy, but I've got to wait on some fines that I gave someone here. It's law.
Well, could you at least give me what information you have on Rayko? He's one of my bets in the power plays.
Never met him.
Gah- for a fellow member of my kind here- you're pretty terrible to go to!
I'm only half your kind. Besides- I'm a lawyer, I don't even participate in the power plays.
Well then of course you wouldn't know anything, low-ranker!
Yuri, please. Cease. I don't know anything, and I can't get booze for you.
-Rayko listened in as well- ... They mentioned my name.

I'm not carrying any proof on me, I told you I'm just here to get him.-Raps his fingers against the tree-
But my employer is known to make his appearance on a dragon. Not many people can say they can do that. And on more than one occasion I've seen that dragon become a woman. I believe we can connect the dots there.
-Grits his teeth, looking like he wants to know more-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanSounds like they want you for something. Should we confront them, or play it patient?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I don't think I even know what the "power plays" are. Nor do I know what they mean by "their kind".
... Lets keep listening.
So is there anything else needed, Miss Yuri?
Hmm... Well, I guess I could talk to you about the bet I made against Aphrodite- that bitch.
Do continue.
See- I think it's unfair that she pulled me into making the bet on Rayko's love life. She says he'll die alone because no-one wants to date a guy that can bleed easier than a Egg's shell breaks- and that on top of that, he's not in an attractive job, as a freelance criminal going place to place.
... Ow.
So naturally, I betted against it- saying he'd find a wife. But he's so bad at it. And I haven't heard any changes of that since getting here. And now it's lookin' like that the bet's being rigged.
Are you sure you're not just a sore loser.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postThey're... making bets on you. Are you sure you've never heard of these people?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?They know you way too well, then. They've been spying on you.

-His casual position against still hasn't changed... though he does seem to scowl just slightly when she steps forward-I personally did nothing to him, but I can hardly say setting him to fight for his life as a child is a respectable act. I'm not bluffing this time, however. I truly do believe that woman may be his mother. I'm not that creative at story-telling, but I've pieced together a few things about his own family history from what my employer has shared with me.
...Hm. I've also never told him a thing about his family. Another mark on there for "terrible parenting." I say, if you do action against me here, he could just never learn a thing about them. Consider his circumstances- would you be as curious as him over this?
-Bites his lip, honestly actually looking conflicted over it-
