[CENTER][color=82ca9d][h2]A Hushed Conversation[/h2][/color][/CENTER]

Burly shook his head at Brutrumukk's first question. When Aurora asked about the Hall of Illusions, Burly answered as he got a sad look on his face, "[color=fdc68a]That's where my brother, Hurly, was last seen before he disappeared...[/color]"

Burly couldn't answer Zavakri as Brutrumukk reiterated his desire to do harm to the Duo to get the information. Thankfully, Aurora spoke against it, but the concern reappeared on his face at the mention of the girl. He answers Aurora, "[color=fdc68a]No...Nobody who works as a Witchlight Hand fits that description...[/color]" 

He seems to think it over until Tsak steps in to stand up to Brutrumukk for Burly. Burly smiles at Tsak in response to her apologetic look, and he speaks, "[color=fdc68a]It's alright, Tsak. Thank you,[/color]"

He lets Tsak introduce herself to Jub.

Then...Miizel asks the question. Burly answers him, "[color=fdc68a]No. I do not want you to use violence to do so. They are indeed good people. They gave me and my brother a home and jobs,[/color]" 

He then looks directly at Brutrumukk and points out, "[color=fdc68a]I think you would understand my position best out of everyone here,[/color]"

He continues, "[color=fdc68a]I know of a better way to get them to talk. You will need to...[/color]" He clears his throat before continuing, "[color=fdc68a]...[I]borrow[/I] Mister Witch's Witchlight Watch. His pocket watch. The both of them can't run the carnival without it,[/color]"

He then tells the group, "[color=fdc68a]Normally, I don't condone theft. But, if you give it back after they give you the answers, then it should be okay,[/color]"

He continues, "[color=fdc68a]I'll let you figure out how to pull this off. But, you should also know this: 

The best time to do this would be during the Crowning of the Witchlight Monarch. That takes place at dawn. Witch and Light have no control over who the monarch will be, but it's always the guest who has contributed the most to the happiness of the carnival. The monarch is also given a charm that lets them fly. The watch is attached to Mister Witch's waistcoat by a chain, so you will need to break it or unfasten it. Finally, Dirlagraun, Candlefoot, and Palasha might help you. They're good eggs,[/color]"

He then warns, "[color=fdc68a]But don't trust Thaco. He's untrustworthy,[/color]"
