"Well."
"Well that was unexpected. He seemed like such an honest chap, didn't he. I suppose he was smuggling? The captain did seem fairly admamant. Just as well I don't have an aptitude for rapid evocation - there's a mage I trained with who would have burned a few of the deputies to cinders when they sprung out, and I imagine that could have escalated things considerably!"
"Exceptional job indicating we should stand down Odinbjorn. I was still trying to work out what was happening." Halvar adds "I've read about 'the fog of war' but never experienced something so dramatic. How you kept your head I don't know."
Turning to Mala
"Thank you my dear for convincing the officer that we were unwilling dupes. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to be seeing the inside of a cell. I suppose it was that he didn't want to arrest a noblewoman and a priest of Shelyn, along with your wit and charm? You didn't have to do anything" he pauses delicately "Extra did you? Nothing that might wear off in a few minutes?"
And to Osric
"You're from around these parts, aren't you Osric. I don't suppose you're familiar with this town?"
