The fireman doesn't even look perturbed.
"......are you talking to a horse?"

The fireman doesn't look too impressed.
"...regardless, you two stay out of trouble here. I don't know who you are; you don't look like adventurers and you're certainly not from around here, so I wouldn't get into too much more trouble."

Serena lifts an eyebrow.
"As a Goddess, I can't allow my faithful servants to be so inconvenienced. We should find the person responsible and make him fix this, then be on our way! Nobody, especially someone as beautiful as myself, should be made to wait this long."
_{"After all, if we fix this, people will thank me for it, and give ME the praise I deserve."}
"Great. Well, I guess we're all going then, are we?"

"You've met my brother. This isn't the first time I've had to deal with this kind of stuff."

"....so instead of doing something that's potentially illegal....we're going to do something that's also potentially illegal anyway."

As soon as they can stop, Karin stops, breathing heavily, looking around at the group, her searching eyes landing on Will and Astera specifically.
"I-is everyone alright?! Are you all okay? None of you are hurt too badly?"

"I...I really don't think telling Asuna that will help. After the stunt Gil pulled, chances are we'd just get arrested for murder. Still, I don't think Jarvis would particularly mind; he seems like the kinda guy who just wants to get things over with. Or maybe not. That Wiggler hat really makes him hard to read, ya know?"

The goblin jerks a thumb at the Initia Royal Palace, nearer the center of town.

"Is the King's job to keep us paid. Or, well, 'is goons, at least," he grumbles. "That's the arrangement. We run 'is training centers, we get paid. I ain't no union bloodsucker, but I know enough, and none of us in Initia or anywhere else in Begnin have gotten paid for a while. Bastards haven't paid us since the King went on walkabout two weeks ago. If you give them a black eye, tell 'em it was from Jerry 'ere, yeah? Swear down, the beady-eyed bean counting bastard who did this is better lose 'is job for this, the bleedin' rotter."

Rosencrantz feels the need to cut in.
"Wait, wait, Keith. You're not seriously going to go.....you know, beat the crap out of some guy in the royal palace, are you? I mean, I want to get this thing running too, but..."

As Keith and Rosencrantz push their way up, with Rosencrantz letting the far more belligerent Keith handle the people, the two get snippets of the conversation. The leader of the adventuring group at the front and the goblin, a bouncer by the looks of it, are having a fairly animated argument.

"....what do you mean the center's closed?"
"I mean, we ain't opening the center today. No work's gettin' done today, boy, so you can take yer group and shove it."
"We've been waiting two hours! And we booked in advance!"
"Tough luck. Nothing's getting done until I get word from my boys inside."

"Now that's new. I haven't heard of one of these places refusing to open for four years."
