The masked man shook Regal's hand, his grip cold but firm.
"Excellent. Right this way, gentlemen. Come on, don't be shy. You wouldn't want to get eaten by horrible giant wasps now, would you?"
Cully gasped at Regal's proclamation. This, on top of everything else? What was his day coming to?
"W-what do you mean? Young Miss Tanya? Such a tragedy, she fell off her horse...but she wasn't buried with anything! No jewels or anything at all like that. I think these two unsavory folks of yours will be awfully disappointed."
Meanwhile, the eye-seller opened a small closet door. Cully glanced over, wide-eyed.
"Is that your plan? Hide in the closet? What sort of help is this?"
The eye-seller simply stared blankly at him, gesturing for him to step into the closet.
"That is precisely the plan, Mr. Cullenham. In you go, you're the largest. Mr. Withernorth will step in after you, and I'll squeeze in at the end. I don't want to be eaten by wasps either, you know."
Despite his protests, Cully squeezed into the closet. Presumably, Regal followed, and the eye-seller would cram himself in at the end and close the door. It was awfully tight, and Regal would be pressed up against some rather uncomfortably placed brooms. Meanwhile, the eye-seller was smashed into the door, but didn't seem to mind the tight quarters at all.
"Do you know any stories, Mr. Withernorth? I do love stories."
He spoke calmly and blandly, as though they weren't all squeezed into a closet that could barely fit even one of them.

"A know a few, none of them for polite company however." Regal said accepting the absurdity of this situation with ease.What had tam called it? Following the wind or something along those lines. Simply accepting things as they were and not comparing it to something it was not... Strange fellow Tam... Strange Friend.
... The hot stuffy closet began to smell of sweat and fear... Regardless of how hard Regal tired, it grated on his nerves after a time.
" Alright, salesmen, where are you taking me?" Regal asked after a long moment...

The salesman snapped his fingers, and a small candle appeared in his hand, casting a soft glow in the otherwise pitch-black closet.
"Taking you? I'm not taking you anywhere. We're already there, I just thought you liked it in here. Besides, I like stories. Go on, open the door."
If Regal managed to squeeze his arm over to the doorknob and open the closet door, he'd see that they were in a very different sort of room than when they'd walked into the closet. It was dark, but by the dim light of the candle, he'd realize that he was in a very familiar-looking non-alcoholic bar after hours...
