[i]Gybol looks to remain patient, but there is a very unamused look on his face when this old man had the gall to do something to his employee. There is a very brief moment where that anger flickers in his expression, but he's keeping a rather calm and polite smile on his face.[/i] "One moment." [i]He looks over his shoulder.[/i] "Nina, don't forget to pick up the parcel today before your shift is over. We need the shipment for the new menu in a couple days." [i]While this sounds like truth, it's his own little code of get the guards. He always gets his own parcels.[/i]

[i]Once Nina is gone or has reacted, he turns his attention back toward the old man.[/i] "Your insistence is noted but in telling you I would be exposing my own secrets as to how this cafe runs. You mention that you have no intention to harm or threaten, but you've just admitted to attempting to do harm to my employee. I'm not exactly thrilled that your actions do not meet your hypothetical reassurances, so I'm going to call that bluff of yours and politely and once more refuse to answer that question. I assume by doing this, you are going to insist in other ways? Or are you going to explain why you are so insistent about why this matters to you? If such artifacts are common enough for you to know about them, then surely there is more reason to your actions and methodology than you're not letting on. I cannot be honest to a dishonest and vague question, if that makes sense."
