Unfortunately, business comes first

PUWLEE'S PAWN SHOP:

The four stand outside he shop for a few moments as Kyuala says, "Alright, John, Lani, let Amilia and I do the talking. We know how to deal with this bastard. Just keep an eye out for anyone, and if trouble comes, run back to the Kauldron, got it?".

"Got it!" The duo say in unison, both now filled with unease as they all head to the door.

INSIDE THE PAWN SHOP:

The four walk in and immediately begin surveying their surroundings as the doorbell chimes, signalling their arrival.

Lani and John begin inspecting some of the weird looking items for sale, Kyuala looks for any sort of traps that can be used against them and Amilia is simply just stealing things she finds "pretty".

As they're mulling around, they hear a voice from the back, "I shall be, but a moment!".

The four then turn around as they hear shuffling coming closer. Eventually the doorway is filled as a large waisted blue man stands there, clad in brown and green robes with arms planted by his sides, "Ahh, customers! How may I help you today?".

The rotund man walks up to the counter leaning against it as he looks at the four but that's when he sees the cat and says, "Ahh, Little Amilia! How are you holding up, my dear?".

Amilia scoffs, "Don't call me dear, Puwlee".

"Ahh, what is the matter? I thought we were friends".

The orc cuts in and says, "You don't have any friends you slime sucker!".

The large man then looks at Kyuala and says, "Oh my, look who it is... little Kyuala. It's been quite a while since I last saw your tusks around my shop".

"Well, I kept my promise to never deal with lowlifes like you, but unfortunately, I have some business to take care of".

Puwlee laughs, "So serious huh? Oooh, but tell me, who are your new friends?" Puwlee signals to Lani and John.

"Doesn't matter who they are, just tell us what we want to know, and we'll leave" Kyuala cuts in, making Puwlee laugh once again.

"Is that so? Oh well, since you asked soooo kindly: What is it that you would like to know?".

"Where can we find the Darkcross?" Amilia firmly asks.

Puwlee then chuckles, "What's the matter? In need of more money? Because my offer for more still stands...".

"I am not sleeping with you, you greasy, flubber-filled land whale!" Amilia walks away from the counter, walking by the fairy and human with a disgusted look on her face.

Meanwhile, Kyuala says, "You're even worse than I remembered Puwlee. Now, tell us where they are, or your shop becomes a scrapyard!".

At the back of the store, Amilia picks up a vase and throws it at another shelf, breaking a multitude of items, causing Puwlee to shout, "Hey! What are you doing?! Those were incredibly expensive to gather!".

Kyuala then says "That's just the start! Now, start talking and maybe you'll be able to glue some of this crap back together and sell it to some idiots!".

Puwlee looks at Kyuala with a worried look, seemingly believing her words, however he doesn't talk which forces Kyuala to say, "Do it again!".

Amilia is then more than happy to oblige as she picks up a glass ball and tosses it, destroying a display case, not only shattering the glass but shattering Puwlee's heart as he pleads, "Girls! Come on! I've known you both since you were stumps! You don't have to do this!".

The two girls laugh as Amilia says, "The more you talk, the less gets smashed!".

The cat picks up another item and Puwlee says, "Wait, wait, wait! Please! That is an extremely rare fabergé egg from the island of Gurnima!".

"Shame, because if you don't talk soon, it's about to become a really cracked egg from Gurnima" Amilia says before chuckling.

Puwlee now groans in internal agony, not wanting his prized item to be destroyed, so he turns to the human and the fairy who are simply letting the women work and pleads to them, "You two seem like good, honourable people. You have to stop them! Please?!"
