[Dego Mernoff]

Once the food came out, Dego didn’t hesitate to hurry into his meal as well, thinking the dwarf could be ready to leave at any moment. Mashing up his fried eggs and soaking up the yolks with his crunchy biscuits the young half elf alternated between the three trying to eat at a pace similar to the dwarf without loosing manners or face in front of Mila. Then as they had all three nearly completed their meals Bork continued the briefing.

Dego took the correction in stride, not barking out about how the Aedile had given him poor information, and nodded as he read over the scribbles on the burned piece of paper. They didn’t make much sense and looked as they were wrote in a hurry, along with the burned edges the young man thought to himself as he turned the locket half over and over between his fingers inspecting the craftsmanship. He had also worked in the jewelers shop with Viskyia so he understood the workings and design of lockets. Normally the hinges wouldn’t break like this without a bit of force.

“Hmmmm” he tapped his index finger on the counter, and took a long draw from his cool water. “So then are we expecting to find foul play, how long has this mill been empty, and what has prompted us to inspect it? The discovery of these items or is this simply a correlation to a lack of activity at the building?”

Stretching out a bit, he watched Bork’s reaction and waited for a response. He was curious to see what the dwarf thought of the situation.
