It was a terrible thing and although I recognized them I didn't care to take a closer look. Perhaps, if you have so many questions, you should go out and investigate the matter yourselves. Good day." And with that the merchant departs, the door thumping shut behind him.<br/><br/>The man's annoyance, perhaps at getting rooked out of a bag of gold by people who did not complete a task, is clear. But Perrin picks up that the annoyance is seeded in concern. Somebody, after all, killed the bandits. Someone who may not differentiate between bandits and merchants.<br/><br/>
