- Álarr says, "Hmph. What do you want?"
- Álarr: 'You're here about the Master's death; is that it? As much as I hate to admit it, especially to his face, Mervárth here was instrumental in catching an especially elusive house-robber just last month. So for you two, I will confirm the rumour: the Master WAS murdered, but keep it to yourselves! We don't want all Lake-town in a panic over it.
