Rae first allows Knight Feld to answer Praxius' question before following up with her own, pausing between each to give the knight the chance to answer, "How fares the King and Princess Zelda? Are you looking for something in particular, I can spare a moment to help."

Paca cleans the spittle from his pan flute after completely savaging the tune that Praxius was whistling. "Normally this sort of thing doesn't happen. I swear it. Let me just clean my flute here and I will be back in business, travel tunes await!"
Paca the notices more important matters at hand, "Oh the lady knight. I wonder if she needs our help with anything again?"
Theo shrugs. “Looks like she’s got everything under control right now,” he comments, seeing the Knight help out with the salvaging. He smirks a bit and whispers to Paca “Do you think we should ask for a refund?”
Knight Feld shakes her head in response to Rae, "No,no We have everything in hand here......The King? He has locked himself and the Princess inside the castle, no one has been able to get in to check on their conditions." Rae, you do however scan the charred rubble of the Wilfull Wander. It seems like for the most part the fire has destroyed anything of value, However out of curiosity you map out the building in your mind and move to where the clerks desk should have been located. This area of the rubble is unsearched and undisturbed, so you take a moment to move a couple piece of burned lumber.
Then you see a metallic gleam, digging through the ash and rubble you find a rather well made Lock box, it is of course locked.
Meanwhile, the Knight addresses you Praxius.
"Unfortunately Commander Reli has not been seen since last night, We tracked his movements here." She looks over to the wreckage, "For what ever we may know, the commander may be a charred corpse under this wreckage."

Paca smirks at Theo "I mean a refund would be nice, were we to find the proprietor" He then realizes that she may be burned in the rubble he looks upon and his demeanor becomes serious "Or perhaps we just leave well enough alone eh?"
Quiggley snorts inappropriately then quickly hides his smile at Praxius' rather unempathetic question about his prize. From behind his hand covering his smile Quiggley will respond to Praxius' statement about Reli,
"Or he came to confront a mistress he realized he had said too much to and she blew the place up knowing the fires would cover the evidence. Too many unknowns about the commander still. All the same would have been better if he hadn't left."
“Yeah, maybe you’re right.” Theo says becoming somber. He goes over to where the people are looking through the rubble and scavenging. Theo looks around for anything that may be of any value.
Rae responds to Knight Feld's comment about the king locking himself up, "I suppose if the king had a run in with the poe, I wouldn't blame him for being wary of allowing others near his own daughter. However, he has a kingdom to care for and I'm sure locking the princess away is not going to do her much benefit either..."
Rae then discovers the lockbox, "Ah, may this be something you were looking for Knight Feld?"
Quiggley looks at the lock box, Rae shows Knight Feld, "You know, sometimes in a business its a practice to keep records and to keep them secure, along with money. If those records exist they could shine a light on what happened here." Quiggley offers.
While Knight Feld does not openly respond to your inquiries Praxius, she does have a telling expression. One laced with doubt, Doubt about the Commander. It seem's that your constant questioning of the Commanders motives has her questioning her loyalty to Reli. "Oh, Your Prize!" The light returns to her eyes.
"While I will have to discuss things with my fellow Knights, you will be permitted the rank of Squire and given the opportunity to join the Knights. However as things are now, Understand that our first priority is to the city. So you may want to wait before you claim your reward."
She stops, looking at the box recovered by Rae. "By Hylia!" She exclaims, moving closer to examine it. "You've found it! This is what we have been searching for." She takes it from you and from her left pants pocket, produces a small key that looks like it would fit the box. "You are spot on Quiggley, our hope is that whatever records the Wander kept would shine more light on the Commander."
Theo, Once Rae comes forward with the box. The Soldiers stop searching and gather behind the knight, You take this to mean that they have found what they were searching for. However you take a quick glance around the rubble, finding nothing of interest. Everything was burnt to ash by the roaring fire.

"That's wonderful", Praxius says clapping his hands together. As he does so his cloak morphs into a replica of Knight Feld's, albeit not as long or grand.
"Did Commander Reli have links to the Willfull Wander? You know Knight Feld, what with Reli being high up in the Knights and all, you might be served engaging some folk outside the ranks. Or perhaps recently offered a squireship, to help with your investigation. To ensure they are not in league with Commander Reli should they be found to be working against the crown", he says jovially.
"If you need help over there, Quiggley, I could shift some rubble?", he says as he walks over towards Quiggley, turning back to Knight Feld briefly to nod at the chest and say, "Think about it".
He then begins to carefully move the debris from the spot Quiggley pointed at, muttering, "A squires work is never done". The smile does not leave his face though.

Paca waits in anticipation for the lock box to be opened and the debris to the cellar to be cleared. He leans over to Theo and embarrassedly asks "What exactly is a Squire? Is that like, some sort of social status? I am not much familiar with hierarchy titles..."
“Being a squire means that Praxius would serve under one of the Knights, carrying out tasks and acting as second to a Knight,” Theo says to Paca after walking back from the rubble of the Wanderer. “After a certain amount of time, up to 10 years but usually shorter, a squire can be considered for full Knight training. This isn’t given out often, so it’s a huge accomplishment for Praxius.”
Praxius struts through the rubble of the Willful Wander, with a certain skip in his step that was not there before. It seems as if the news of his reward has affected him in a beneficial way, even more so when he digs his fingers under a large piece of charred lumber. Easily lifts it completely off the ground and tosses it to the side, the hunk of wood dully clatters against the worked stone. By the sound alone, one would wager what was once a support strut in the building, Easily weighed close to 200 pounds. Yet your companion has tossed it aside like it was a stick on the side of the road.
Once removed, it only takes a few moments of clearing away other debris to reveal the still intact entrance to the cellar. However you are met with another obstacle, as it's heavy metal doors are sealed by a rather large iron padlock.
Knight Feld takes the box from Rae and opens it, While she was visibly becoming more chipper at the prospect of finally finding what she was searching for. The contents of the box causes her to immediately deflate, she lets out a long sigh and drops the box to the ground. It clatters and is revealed to be empty. "Well, My morning was a waste......What have you found over there?" She diverts her attention over to where Praxius and Quiggley are examining the large Padlock.

"You can't say that isn't a bit odd? Not sure how, but I am certain the Commander is involved in this plot", Praxius says to Knight Feld.
"I'm sure you blue cloaks will figure it out", he says with a smile.
"Speaking of which, I won the tournament yesterday. Where should I go to get my prize?".

“Well, well. Someone didn’t want anyone poking around in the cellar judging by the size of this padlock”, Praxius says.
He looks across to the lock box as it bounces on the floor with a clatter. “Odd there is nothing in that. You sure it is empty?”.
He shrugs and turns back to the lock, “Anyone able to pick this, or should I try to break it off?”.
