Text �My name is $name. I'm investigating the theft and I have a few questions for you.�
90
Text �And what might those questions be, Half-Elf?�
97
Text �I doubt that, but since I won't get any peace from your pestering until you tell me, go ahead.�
103
Text �You trust in the overactive imagination of some little kid? I know from Talan that everything was quiet during the night. And I take the word of my own guard over Oliver's!�

147
Text �But regardless of that, how do you know that it was not Silverhair herself who went to the stables and caused the noise? After stealing Master Fingolson's gems!�

173
Text �Why do you say that?�
179
Text �Don't get excited, half-elf. Alek looks like scum, and probably is, being a mercenary, but there is no reason to suspect him of the theft. In fact, I hear that he offered his services to Bjarn as a guard.�
185
Text �You don't think that is a little suspicious?�
191
Text �Look, Half-Elf, I am getting pretty damn tired of you and your questions. This investigation has nothing to do with you, so why don't you keep your nose out of it? Now get the hell out of here!�

Text �What harm could it do if I spoke to my mistress?�
240
Text �Mine! As long as Silverhair does not give in and hands out Master Fingolson's gems she's staying where she is. On her own!�

Text �Hm ... yes, that's a fact. You are right, Half-Elf. Something strange is going on.�

Text �My mistress has been wrongly accused, and I intend to clear her name.�
