Show: Cleaning House
In Velsa's garden:
"The Thieves Guild, restored to Abah's Landing? I am most grateful for your timely and unexpected assistance! You see, my bountiful warehouse was taken from me by some conniving and nefarious individual."
:Who took your warehouse? "That is the question I keep asking myself. One day I arrived to find unfamiliar guards. They chased me from my own warehouse like a common dragon frog! Someone must have bribed my overseers. It does not matter. I need you to recover what was lost."
::Are you asking me to steal your warehouse back? "What? No. Did I fail to mention the ledger hidden in my old office? I may have lost my warehouse, but the ledger is worth twice that entire rickety building. If you help Velsa restore it to me, I shall be most grateful to the Thieves Guild."
:::I'll meet Velsa at the warehouse.
Outside the Thieves Den:
"Do you have the ledger? Was it all for naught? Oh, there is so much naught on your face! My heart shrinks in despair. But … I am quite bad at reading faces. And in this place, my nose doesn't help. So? Does the stink of victory waft about you?"
:I have your ledger. Here you are. "Wonderful! Were my perfidious overseers inconvenienced in any way? I do so hope they are bereft of convenience! Yet, the others who labored for me are blameless. Should they desire it, they shall have a place in my future endeavors."
::I need to speak wit Zeira.
Show: The Long Game
"A most regrettable welcome, for I have such unfortunate tidings! What I soon reveal shall be quite distressing to hear—for this, I offer my gravest and most humble apology!"
:What do you mean? "Ah, the look on your face is unmistakable! It says, if I may speak for your most resplendent face, "Peace, my exceptionally sleek mercantile friend. Take a series of deep, relaxing breaths so you may reveal the matter at hand." In, out. In, out."
::Silver-Claw. Tell me what's going on. "Velsa left for No Shira Citadel! She made me promise upon our long and profitable friendship not to reveal this, but your vigorous interrogation left me no choice. I do not know why she travels to the headquarters of the Iron Wheel, but I fear for her safety!"
:::What should I do? "Go after her, of course! But you are so striking. The Iron Wheel will know you don't belong. It is settled—you shall meet with the illustrious Percius Loche at the Diamond Thimble. He shall help you obtain an appropriate disguise. Tell him I sent you!"
::::All right, I'll get moving. "Velsa assured me she would not venture beyond the outskirts of No Shira Citadel. Assured me! Oh, my. With all certainty, she is already captured."
:::::Who is Percius Loche? "A cherished friend! Though not always. Once, we were fierce rivals for the importation of fine silk—yet he proved the gracious victor, and reimburses for any referral, to this day! A cherished former rival, in all truth. But quite magnanimous."

In his shop:
"Oh. Hello. Zeira sent word I should expect you."
:Silver-Claw? What's wrong? "Every important merchant in Abah's Landing received a wedding invitation. Every single one. But not Silver-Claw!"
::Which merchants, exactly? "Lord Wallavir, for one! That paranoid cheat lounges about the market as though he owns every tile on the walls. Or that lush Lady Balina. She won't even attend! Just use it as an excuse to buy another dress from Percius Loche. She's sweet on him, you know?"
:::I need to get an invitation. Who should I steal it from? "Hmm, I dislike them equally. Lord Wallavir would keep it in his pocket. Were you subtle enough, you could take it from him. Lady Balina would certainly leave it upon her bedroom dresser. Slip past her mansion's servants and house guards to retrieve it."
::::I'll get that invitation. "Good, good! When you do, meet me at your Thieves Den. I may have experience in … duplicating official documents. For my records, you see"
After stealing an invitation:
"Did you get the invitation? Whose did you acquire? No, don't tell me, I want to see it with my own eyes."
:I have the invitation. Here, take it. "Let me see here … "and guest"! This is good, the invitation allows for a single companion. Once you select your guest, you should visit the Diamond Thimble. If you aren't clothed in one of Percius Loche's outfits, you'll stand out like a sore claw."
::I have to dress up? "You don't "have" to dress up … you "get" to dress up. But your companion will need to acquire an outfit as well, so go on! I'll be over here."
When deciding who to take as your date:

In the den:
"I have good news, my friend! Chief Inspector Rhanbiq and the Iron Wheel will soon depart Hew's Bane. And the bad news … Zeira will be sent to Taneth, where she will stand trial for raiding al-Danobia Tomb."
:Where is the Iron Wheel holding Zeira? "Somewhere in No Shira Citadel. The Iron Wheel's preparations to depart causes much distraction. There is no better time to slip among their ranks! But I am not a part of your guild. You would know best what to do, of course."
::I'll put this information to good use.
==Conversations==
Silver-Claw: "You wouldn't ever steal from me … would you?"
Walks-Softly: "Never more than you could spare."
Silver-Claw: "You wouldn't! But—oh, haha, you're pulling my tail … or are you? I can't tell!"
Walks-Softly: "Your worrying must be poor for your health. It might do you well to worry less about it."
Silver-Claw: "Oh—no no. Good business keeps me in most robust health, I assure you!"
;Cleaning House
Velsa: "Did you fall and land directly upon your skull? I... am... retired!"
Silver-Claw: "Velsa! Do not make me beg. It is unbecoming of our most profitable history."
Velsa: "And who is this, Silver-Claw? Who else befouls my garden?"
Silver-Claw: "In all truthfulness, I have no knowledge. A friend? But... you have no friends. Beyond my humble and mercantile self, of course!"
;Prison Break
In the Den:
Velsa: "Silver-Claw, stop pacing! You'll wear a rut in the floor."
Silver-Claw: "It helps me think! Now, where is the guildmaster? Or acting guildmaster? Or whatever you call it?"
Velsa: "Look who's here! Your long wait is over."
