His eyes flick away from the piece he's cleaning just long enough to - okay no he needs to actually stop what he's doing and read this one, because wow. Lemm scoffs lightly at the uneven scrawl.

"There're other shops than mine, dotted around close to Fountain Square where visitors would see them. As far as I know I've pried into each, so don't expect to find anything I'd buy off you." Literally pried, in most cases. "I found myself stuck three streets away in one of those kitschy souvenir shops, waiting for some unwanted attention to wander off. While I was there I found the board knocked all over the floor. I never could find all the pieces, and I did look hard. Believe me, those pieces aren't there any more. Must've been carried off or shuffled into the Waterways."

Lemm pauses then, turning the crown in his fingers so that it catches the light. He could leave off this next bit, since it's not pertinent information. But they're both getting better at the don't-have-to-but-will-anyway.

"I had a lot of time to search."
