Dub-dub finishes a sip of his bourbon. He swirls the rest around as he stares into the brown liquor. After a moment, he sets down his glass, clears his throat and says, "Kalli, its nice to meet you. The animals call me Dub-dub."
He pauses for a beat then says to Ovak, "Miss, I understand the need to mourn a loss. Trust me. But if your employer here is right, the little one’s death would be in vain if someone else gets there first."
He weighs his words for a moment, looking for a response, but continues. "I noticed she had some fine tools among her belongings you collected. She seemed to be prepared for a locked door such as the one we saw. I wouldn’t want someone else to open it before we do. Let the deaths of those two mean something."
His hand is quivering ever so slightly as he reaches for and quickly downs the rest of his drink. He sets down the glass down purposefully and stares into the emptiness of it. "There’s no honour in a meaningless death." he says to no one in particular.
