"I've been thinking it over carefully, and, well..." Colin began. "All we can really do right now is a little bit of snooping and recon. It'll be basically impossible to finish our investigation anytime soon without tipping them off."
"Then let's do that. It's better than doing nothing at all."
"I trust Colin. If he says this is the only way, then there's definitely no better option."
Ale and Orelia said in turn.
The two of them were starting to act as if Yuri didn't exist, but the Paladin didn't seem to mind. He just stood to the side without saying a word.
"Alright, let's check out the nearby streets for now. We shouldn't ask around in any more taverns for a while; I'm worried they might share information with each other, and we could get exposed," Colin said. "Let's start by asking about missing person cases. Heading to the docks seems like a good choice."
After the other two agreed, Colin immediately led them toward the docks.
The fog on the streets still hadn't dispersed.
