Dissuade them? Oh, well, certainly — 'greetings gentlemen trying their very best to rob us blind, would you be amenable to not doing so?' [ He grits his teeth as the thief suddenly jostles at the door. ] 'Perhaps — acquiring honest jobs instead?'
Would that work?
[ Alphinaud doesn't often give in to sarcasm, but at the moment, with his full weight pressed into the paper-thin door and the knowledge that any moment now the very thing will splinter into pieces, leaving them exposed to petty crime, he feels the situation appropriate.
He knows Alisaie is trying her best though, and his biting remarks are only a result of the pressure being place upon them. They'd just wanted to leave quietly and in peace. The thieves could have their space just as soon as they're gone.
'Hey Roth! This the room you said those stinkin' kids were in, yeah? So why's the door stuck?'
The thief's voice is so loud he might as well have shouted in Alphinaud's ear. Tiresome. ]
'Stinking kids'? Surely you could come up with something better.
