Relic remains unflinching to both the barking half orc and Daylily's jest, though the effort causes a slight redness to come to his cheeks. He is content to remain outside and converse with the polite guard while the others enter into the shop . Something in the half-elf's question has set off his most untrustworthy of alarm bells.
"I understand you must be both tired and bothered having to stand here on duty for so long. If it were of my own doing I would apologise. Unfortunately we believe that whether Rukelp's story is true or besmattered with lies, it is impossible that he was working alone. And hence our wish to inspect the tainted stock. To better understand what has gone on, sort truth from false to find who else might be responsable. When we know that ... well, we can more easily track them down and put and end to the threat they pose to the city. Does this explanation satisfy your question Ser Follet?"
After waiting for the guard's response he asks:
"You seem a man of sharp eye, questioning mind and alert senses ... what do you make of all this? Is there something that perhaps tugs at the edge of your mind, some detail that doesn't quite fit?"
Finally before entering he asks:
"Have either of you caught wind of the rumor of the man who was found floating down by the docks? An incident with a burnt boat?"
All this time he carefully inspects the guard's responses in an attempt to gauge why he might question an order from his superior.
