You walked in after him, trying to look calm and confident.
- Good day. Almost evening, actually, The weather is nice, isn't it?
- Weather? What weather? - owner made wry face. - Where from you such appeared?
- We're moving through your wonderful city, our expedition today was to go, but bad luck, we lost someone, so we have come to you for help. We really hope at you. - Nil was showly off polite, shaggy was annoyed a bit with this.
- Ladtakomadz's Bureau of search and find at your service aha! Did you confuse with address? - Bearded man tried to look relaxed, showed no agression yet.
- No. We were sent exactly here, place was shown on the map, your old lady even guided us here.
- Don't now anything! Get out, I have no instructions to search fugitives. Actually, who are you?
- I have already said. - Nil answered - We are from the expedition ...
- Names! - Asked the bearded man.
- I'm Nil, and this one - Nil pointed at you - Soapeater. From a Mountain Home.
- I see, okay. In short, you go away now, and I'll take a walk to the neighbors, I'll say that Soapeater and Nil came, and they looked for their freind.
You thought that the conversation is over and turned to the door, but Nil did not move.
- Well, who are you going to search? - Slightly sarcastically Nil asked bald. - How? I'm yet did not even say name of the missing, nor described him. Or do you already know in advance who we are looking for?
- And why are you such cheeky, huh? - Shaggy stiffened. - I have not seen anyone, get it! F*cking nerd ... Who cares about exterior, mountain dwarf a mile away in the crowd to see - easy! And they smell soap like some f*cking princesses.
- Here, - Nil fished out a package with the announcement of the loss of Tok and put on the table of owner. - I leave it here, I advise you to examine. And also show your neighbors.
Bearded arrogantly looked at a piece of paper lying on the table, then just same arrogantly looked at Nil. Leaflet was not even touched.
Nil shook his head and pointed to the parcel. For a few seconds they stared with bearded at each other, trying win at stare competition. At last bald deigned to reach out for a piece of paper and deploy it.
- So, then, who do we have here? .. Tok ... Farmer, so ... Or planter? What makes you think that I will work hard because of a peasant? Unfortunately, fellas, I can not help.
- Tok is his name. He's not a farmer.
- Oops, the first time I hear this name. Dwarves actually have no such name!
- Nevertheless, we hope for your understanding and support. I think the mountain dwarf, moreover with a rare name, will be even easier to find among the urbans. Actually, that's all we want.
- Do you understand that business doesn't work like this? After all, I'm not your aunt nor cousin. I have other ... affairs! I appreciate my time, and in general, everything has its time ... and its price. If you understand, of course.
- I think he wants money - Nil turned to you. - Don't you accidentally mislaid pair of golds, um? Or you, of course, threw awayall of it?
- All - you said.
Further conversation with shaggy extortionist was meaningless. As soon as conversation turned about money, bearded man immediately became completely intractable and only demanded you to leave his house.
- And what's now, Nil? - You asked the guardsdwarf. - Just leave like that and go to search somewhere else?
- I do not know, Soapeater. Looks like they have no Tok there. Or they have but don't know it themself.
- Why don't we demand let us in? Or break down with fight?
- Actually, it was possible to smash this frowsy brat: you strike him with spoon to the nape, I tie him with your rope around his chest and knees. But, you know, if Tok is not out there in the "hole", we will be in big trouble, and will have to forget about Tok at all. Dunno-dunno ... Do you have some ideas what to do now?
