That one scene where a shady dude gets interrogated in a scandalous location [D4EA, The Mermaid’s Cups] (Expecting)

[Whisper]

Whisper chuckled and turned back to the man. "We really don't want to stir up any trouble. It's just business. We're interested in some things that may be for sale. Obviously, we aren't all familiar with this kind of thing.:"

[Flession]

"The only thing we got for sale are on the dance floor, and at that those are rentals." He sighs. "If you want to do business withLarissa..." He says with some emphasis. "Grab a table and I'll send her your way." He holds up the gold coin you gave him previously to give some emphasis as to show why he's being so helpful.

[Whisper]

"It's appreciated." He nodded.

[Illiam'iira]

"Grab a table and I'll send her your way."

"Thank you!" Illi chirps at him before skipping over to an empty table (with or without Dare on her arm... hopefully with)!

[Dare Shah]

"Thank you!" Illi chirps at him before skipping over to an empty table (with or without Dare on her arm... hopefully with)!

Dare will indeed let her escort drag her to a table. In the matter of dance, defer to the authority of the dancer; concerning illegal items, consult the provider of such goods.

[Illiam'iira]

Dare will indeed let her escort drag her to a table.

Illia will sit with Dare Shah, humming softly and papping the table with her hands to the rhythm in her head. "So you're investigating illicit goods? Shouldn't you have been a bit less... straightforward about that?" Illi looks between Dare and Whisper. "...or is that, uhm, normal here?"

[Whisper]

He shrugged. ""I've not been here before. I have other contacts for what I do."

[Illiam'iira]

"I've not been here before. I have other contacts for what I do."

"...don't you normally hunt?" She tilts her head. Well, he could be the muscle..?

[Dare Shah]

"With how much time a minor mistake to one's identity have made us waste, I'm actually glad I didn't use confusing euphemisms for our target's occupation.

And if they try to flee, I feel like they'll make mister Whisper's day."

[Whisper]

"I find things. Often, that means hunting or foraging, to get components for enchantments and such. Sometimes, it's something less natural. Usually, I'm hired to acquire a specific need. Occasionally, I go out on my own and bring back things to sell." he explained.
