Before we went off to exterminate some illegal slave traders… I decided to confront Tom first.
The boy shuffled nervously as I brought him to the corner of the courtyard, away from the other kids.
"Tom… You're involved with some bad people aren't you?" I asked, deciding to just get straight to the point.
He froze up for a moment before peeking at me, "How… How does big sister know?"
"Let's just say that I have some people look into the state of this temple. I want to know what you know from you though, so are you willing to talk?"
He fiddled with his fingers and I could tell that he didn't actually want to talk so I tried to pressure him a little.
I pressed my hand against the wall behind him and leaned over him, using my height to overshadow him to make myself look more threatening.
"It would be best that you just tell me what I want to know, Tom. It will be easier for everyone involved."
