[Someone's stressed out. Must be hard on Daniel to be in over his head like this, huh? He probably has been for a while now, if just asking what he was doing earlier makes him feel the need to write his memoirs. Heh! Well, why not stick around long enough to hear him out? He doesn't want to miss a story that good. What else does he have to do right now?]

You can take your pick, unless that conscience of yours gets in the way again. None of the shops I checked even had cash registers or lockboxes.

[Because he had checked, even if he's giving Daniel a bit of a hard time just for the fun of it. Was he ready to help himself to a bit of money, to ease the settling in process if need be? Absolutely. Too bad it seems aggressively unnecessary in a place like this.]
