The request had only been up a few hours, but already there was discussion amongst those Freeswords present in the inn about it. The issuer hadn't given a name. Just the situation and a description of the child. What probably made this all the worse was the fact that the child was merely a year old. Still, not many freeswords were taking the job owing it's mysterious circumstances. Would this hold true for others?
Shliek stands in front of one of the posted notices, rubbing his chin and pondering. He furrows his brow, trying to consider on how to go about performing such an investigation with so little information.,
Bazalt sighs, staring at the notice. Ususaly, he'd not helping in these types of things.. but A kid?..Only an important persons Kid was taken, for the randsome rewards, or atleast that was his asumption. In anycase, BAzalt was here-waiting and somewhat hoping for a good outcome....as unlikly as it may be.
Amused at some inside joke, Leonidas waits by the board. "Doesn't it seem... Interesting to you, a nameless request to find a missing child?" The olm rasps, looking back to Bazalt, grin widening to an almost predatory smile. "But no mention of where they came from? It would strike us as... Suspicious. Perhaps if our would-be employer would surrender some more details it would lend credibility to their claim." He circles the group and stands, tail winding around his legs. "We wonder, then. What do you make of this?"
Nearby, a spider sits and shrugs. "Some people prefer their privacy." He says, standing up. "I watch teh person filing the request. They were the kind of distraught you'd find in a parent desperate for anything they can get." He states, walking over to the notice board. "Theres a lot a group of criminals or other such minded folk could do to a young mind like this girl's."
"Hm. Perhaps this one, or others interested should consult some darker forces in town, perhapss oil them with some coin. Perhaps they speak.", the little lizard says without turning to face the others gathering.
Bazalt Glances at the Olm. "Didnt think this-no I take that back... and blame Lyas." he shrugs "I assume the Parent is a noble, Or rich because otherwise why WOuld you take a child-and In that case hte noble would wnat be left unamed because of the public.. or something."He Glances about, three shadows? that was strange to him, meeting more than one other of his kind. "In anycase...I'm doing this for the child.."HE sighs again, looking at Glein and then everyone else. "ideas where to start?"
"Is that so?" Leonidas replies, attention turning to Glein at an easy pace. "You're certainly right, some DO prefer their privacy." the smile remains ever-present. "We wonder then what you assume would be made of such a... Suspiciously lacking request. After all, you are the one handling this... Incident."

"Well then. Let's get a move on.", the reptile urges as he starts to move towards the door. "This one is not adverse to launching a joint investigation, and surely one of you has some shady connections. This one does, but this soul is not so good at the talking."
Bazalt Shrugs "Nobles and Strange. I'm not going to start questioning how or why they do what they do..." he Trusn to leave with teh lizard. "anyone know about how the child was taken? Or who might do this? any groups known for this? the guard seen anything?" he asks,tail flicking.

Glein smirks. He pulls down the posted request and reads it aloud. "'Seeking Freeswords to help recover daughter. She is a gray fox kit of 1 year of age.
