"I suppose that's useful, I'd been assuming it was just about it being an heirloom and such but..."

"Reim can't leave that island and the Lord... could send a lot of people after us even if he didn't want to personally go which he also might, yeah."

"Also wouldn't put it past Reim to find someone else to bribe, though that might be difficult for him with how few people come to the island in the first place."

"Right. Ugh, this is hard."

"It'd be nice if we could find someone who knows Reim, who doesn't have a reason to hold a grudge."
