Evrart Claire: "Are you shitting me, Harry? Did you not really open the door and are now just telling me you did?" His lively eyes are mapping your face. "You're a wild one, Harry!"

Evrart Claire: "Most certainly, Harry." The big man nods merrily. "Nothing brightens my day like brainstorming these things with you."

Evrart Claire: "Oh, of course. That's your main thing here. That's *why* you're in Martinaise." He nods. "I know everything that goes on around here and I would *love* to discuss it with you."
"Oh, of course. That's your main thing here. That's *why* you're in Martinaise." He nods. "I know everything that goes on around here. And I would *love* to help you, like I'm helping you with the body and your lost gun..."

Evrart Claire: "One of them got downright suicidal. Getting drunk, violent, a little rapey..." He shakes his head. "Even their own negotiator couldn't control him. That's your boy, the one who likes *hanging out* and trees."

Evrart Claire: "Oh, I'm not *at all* worried about that. These are not the kind of men who get arrested. They're Martinaise boys, tough and gritty. I'd like to see the man who takes them in." He chuckles. "Besides I sent my lawyergirl to look after them."

Evrart Claire: "Once you have the signatures, mail this to 13022 La Rocca, district of La Delta. Then we can talk." He runs his fingers through his thin hair.

Esprit de Corps: But, he thinks, it's your call.

Evrart Claire: "As I said, it weighs on me heavily..." He bows his head in shame, then looks up and smiles: "But once we get *really* talking... well, I'm gonna hand you the keys to Martinaise! And maybe even help you figure out who's behind this killing."
