Hell no, this guy's a dick

"Well, the ladies asked you a question. It's kinda rude for you to ignore it" John says, drawing a surprised look from Lani but drawing a chuckle from the other two.

Kyuala then says, "You heard the man. Now talk, and your egg stays intact".

Puwlee looks to Kyuala, obviously struggling with the choice internally, Kyuala then says, "Fine, you don't want to answer? I'll make you answer, 5.....4.....".

Puwlee now begins sweating as Kyuala continues counting, "3.....2.....1.....".

Amilia raises the fabergé egg up as high as she can but is stopped by a shout, "WAIT!".

Amilia stops, still holding the egg up high as Puwlee says, "They're hiding out in a cave about 10 miles west of town! That's all I know! Just please... put down the egg! Gently!".

Kyuala looks to the cat and signals for her to put it down.

Amilia sighs, "You're no fun".

The feline then gently puts the egg down back in its place, and the four group up with Kyuala saying, "The cave, we need an exact location".

"Okay, okay, the cave is hidden behind a blood tree. It will have the Darkcross symbol on the back of it, that's when you know you're in the right place".

"What about inside?" Amilia adds.

"You will find your way easily. The cave will lead you down where the Madame sits" Puwlee answers.

Lani then asks, "The Madame?".

"Yes. She is always there, rarely leaves that hole from what I heard".

Kyuala then cuts back in by asking, "What about people? How many are in there at one time?".

"I have no clue. There was at least ten, maybe fifteen when I was last there. I know, however that they've sent a few to Juiratu Valley for a meeting, so there will probably be less".

The cat and orc look at each other, agreeing internally before Kyuala says, "Alright, but if I find out you're lying to us, that egg won't be the only thing getting broken! Understand?!".

"Yes, yes! Just, please, leave!" The four then turn away from Puwlee, heading to the exit after finally getting what they came for.

OUTSIDE THE SHOP:

The quartet now walk back up the street, seemingly heading back toward the Kreaky Kauldron. Kyuala then stops the other three at a crossroads as she says, "Alright, we know where they are, so we should pay them a visit, especially if their numbers are low".

"You really think he was really telling the truth?" Lani innocently asks

"No" The cat and orc respond simultaneously.

"Puwlee never tells the whole truth, but he's not stupid enough to completely lie, especially to us" The cat explains.

"Anyway, we should prepare, 10 miles out here can easily be treacherous, so I'll gather some gear and food with Amilia, just in case" Kyuala states.

"And while you're doing that, Lani and I will get my clothes from Tally's and quickly head to the Seer" John says.

His words prompt a hidden remark from the feline, "That's not all you're going for".

The trio wonder what the cat mumbled but are cut off as the orc says, "Alright, we'll meet back at the Kauldron. If we're not there, just wait in your room, and we'll get you, understood?".

Lani and John nod as Kyuala continues, "Alright, good luck and be safe, those Darkcross men might still be lurking around".

"You two stay safe as well".

Amilia chuckles, "We'll be fine. Ky and I have been dodging muck sniffers all our lives".

"Anyway, let's split up, see you two soon" Kyuala says.

"Same to you both" Lani responds as the two duos now split up to take on their separate tasks.
