While Sharky was mocking them, someone spoke up. "Why was Nick killed?"
Sharky immediately focused his attention when he heard that. Looks like this trip was worth making after all.
Unfortunately, the voice was a bit hoarse and strange, as if that person were intentionally altering his voice.
"Would any of you here be able to feel at ease if Nick weren't dead?" The black-robed individual sitting farthest out spoke up just then in a slightly mocking tone.
Sharky frowned. He really couldn't understand why these individuals would cover themselves up that way, even modifying their voice. Don't tell me these people can't even distinguish between each other here?
But upon closer inspection, he still saw some differences. Even though they wore black robes, the patterns on their sleeves and collars were different.
