If you are telling the truth, you are helping her, and that is something I deeply appreciate. If you are lying, you will not live to regret it, but..." he looked at the strange, small person, trying to decide if he could trust them, and ultimately he knew that he had no choice but to, "My name is Mr. Dark, by the way. I do not know what you are, or why you run a shop in the forest, but if my wife trusts you, I suppose I ought to as well."
