"Hmm... it's a request to prevent an upcoming... robbery?  'A declaration made by the notorious thief, Nilafia, was made earlier today upon Lord Beaumont, stating that tonight, she'll be acquiring the jewel rose he possesses.'  It goes on saying rewards for Nilafia's capture and how to get to Beaumont's castle from there."

"Reward... Hey!  Why don't we go get Nilafia first before she can steal that flower?  You're good at finding creatures, right?"

"Detective work will do little good with that monster mare.  She's crafty with her tactics, an expert at being discreet when she wants to be, and is completely uncatchable."

"Sounds to me like you're scared," Brook mocks.
