"I think that's all we're going to get for now. Seems we can only get those two to talk if they're arguing or giving orders."
"Yeah, and we're getting uncomfortably close," Erin agrees. "I'd rather not face him without more backup."
"Guess we'll go see this Grey, then. Maybe he can help us out."
You head back towards the brig. But as you get close, you hear an argument breaking out.
"I can't believe you'd try to make a move on her! We've been friends how long?"
"Get over it, man. You're not her type. I am."
"Don't give me that! You told her lies about me! You tried to push her away from me, you damn mudleech!"
"I told her you were a coward. That's no lie as far as I'm concerned!"
"You've got some nerve! And after all I've done for you!"
After that, you hear some noises. It sounds like a fight.
"What do you make of that?" you ask Erin.
"This close to the brig? It might be a distraction. The knights on guard come out to break up the fighting, then the rivals cooperate and knock out the guards. Now that I'm listening for it, some of those noises do sound fake."
"What could they want in the brig, though?"
Erin shrugs.
"Beats me. You could go ask them if you want to know that badly. But I'm inclined to think we should just wait and see how this plays out."
Well, that's her opinion. But you can make up your own mind.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
