It's a huge sum for a mercenary; it's probably his entire savings, but there is a slight problem; the slave he is looking for isn't one of yours. "Well then," he says in embarrassment, "Have to say this is a little awkward." He gives a fake cough, "You wouldn't happen to, you know, know who _hisU owner is?" You shake your head.
