Simon Groat

"You know the pain of loss, my [lord/lady]. Through foul play or not, your [husband/wife] was stolen from you. I didn't want you to worry about my similar grief."

Cunning

"You are a true friend and ally, Groat. Even when you mask your loyalty in the shadows."

Simon Groat

"Kyra was wonderful. We'd spent evenings together, sharing delicacies, dreaming of the shop she hoped to build. And now she's gone..."

Truthful

"You seek to keep a distance from me with secrets. You can trust me, Groat."
