Julius:  None of them looked very cooperative, and their faces puckered when they saw a knight standing in front of them.

Man:  “G-geez, what’s a knight doin’ here? None of us knows nothin’, all right? !”
human
Julius:  “Calm yourselves. I’m not here to hand out punishment to any of you. I simply have a few questions about the man who worked you over. For starters, why did you target him?” Julius was calm but got right to the point, and the three men collectively gulped.

Ferris:  When Ferris saw they weren’t eager to answer, he pursed his lips. “Just a second! Play along with us here. Trust me, if you don’t say anything, someone else will—all you’re doing is wasting our time. So come out with it already.”

Man:  “…Okay, we’ll talk. But on one condition. We sing, and you let us out of this place. There’s a bad vibe here.”
gpt
Man:  “…Very well. I’ll see what can be done.” The offer came from the second of the men, the medium-size one. He was young and possessed very sharp eyes.

Julius:  Julius accepted his condition, and the three of them visibly relaxed.
gpt
Man:  “There was this guy with a lotta, y’know, style. Gave us each a gold coin and said to keep an eye on that cocky kid. Easy money, right?”
human
Man:  “But it ended up being the most painful milk run we’ve ever been on.”
gpt
Man:  “It’s all because of those other greedy bastards; they went and got carried away! We tried to stop ’em, I swear!”
human
Man:  “Anyway, point is, we tried to do our part, and look where it got us.” The excitable smaller man and the glum-looking larger one both settled down as the one in the center concluded the story.

Julius:  “Hmm.” Julius nodded when they were finished. “And do you, perchance, know the name of the person who hired you?”
human
Man:  “You don’t ask what you don’t need to know. Stick your nose in too deep, and you never know when they might decide to cut it off.”

Chisha:  “The only reasonable response.” Chisha said with a shrug. “And they’ve no reason to lie—another dead end, I suppose?”

Julius:  “No, not necessarily.” Julius said, shaking his head. Then he reached out toward the three men. Their eyes were wide. "Would you mind if I inspected the gold coins you were given for your reward?"
gpt
Man:  “The hell? You tryin’ to fleece us? You’re a knight—that’s, like, abuse of power or somethin’! That’s our reward for doin’ our job!”
human
Ferris:  “A pretty shady bit of pay.”
gpt
Ferris:  “And then you didn’t even actually do the job—that’s just sad.”
human
Man:  “Listen, kitten! Don’t think you can mouth off to us just ’cause you’re cute!” came the explosive response from the shortest of the three criminals. They stared at one another like small animals in a face-off until Julius intervened.

Julius:  “Pardon me.” Julius interjected. “Ferris, restrain yourself. My apologies for this misunderstanding. The money is yours, of course. I simply wish to inspect it.”
human
Man:  “Yeah, likely story!
