Apparently surprised to hear that, or maybe reading something from the sentence that Beam hadn't intended to put there, the merchant gave a smile of his own. "Alright then… I don't mind that. As for your information – the girls put in work, but they couldn't find anything on the little lass. She may as well just have vanished into thin air. I've been keeping an eye on the Elder a bit, but he's back to his routine as normal. The old bastard was probably just sick. Aside from that… I suppose all the drama is within the soldiers' camp," he said.
"You mean, with the soldier getting killed?" Beam said.
"There's that, aye, but there's also the monster attacks. They've got more than a few men wounded. Lombard there is looking serious, cos as it stands, he's more likely to fall to monsters at the moment than men, he's going to do something drastic in response, I imagine, that's why he's setting up that meeting later today – or getting me to set it up, the bastard," Greeves said.
