Demands

"We're ready to do any favors or demands you want," the girl said with no hesitation. "Our leader sent me knowing you would ask for some things. What is it that you want?"

"First, I want to learn everything about the Azure Dragon and the events that surrounded his death that everyone in your little rebellion group can give me," Alex said.

The girl was taken aback. His first request hadn't been regarding any treasures. "Are you sure he's really dead?" she asked. "Because that would be news—"

"Your leader knows," Alex said. "He just can't tell you because of his oath. Tell him you know about it already and he can tell you it is the truth."
