[quote=Ryza]"We should keep in mind the path we will take to get to Lord Drake's estate. The inquisition could be more involved in this than we think."[/quote]

"Indeed." Kuro said, coolly turning his gaze to Drake, not even sparing a glance for Ignis as the spirit of heat eyed him from ground level. The Rider gave the man the same brief, sweeping glance he had given Ryza and Eli back in the pub. Sir Drake's manor is also a fair distance apart from the Guildhouse. If the Inquisition were sufficiently prepared for all eventualities they would do well to have a patron in the bar who could lure those involved to a private, secluded location after gaining their trust, where an Inquisition Squad could then detain and process them with minimal fuss. Sir Drake can assist us in moving discretely there, but some of us should scout our destination directly to ensure we are not going to walk into an ambush." 

Kuro turned to where Ryza and Alan were standing, finally looking at Alan for the first time. "You there, Hawk. Scouting and reconnaissance is one of of your band's functions, is it not? Are you willing and able to reconnoiter the destination site for us discreetly?"

All of this was said in clear earshot of Drake himself, but the Rider did not seem particularly perturbed with his openly voiced, bare-faced allegation that the Serpent might possibly be a turncoat.
