*I smile cordially* "Their is no need to make it seem like anything really. We are simply traveling to the Imperial City on some small end business. I have a few contacts in the city who have a lead on some ancient magic object being held by a rouge demon. We want it. You know, typical mage business. We always want glowy things to add to our collections, and a demon has one. You may actually approve of this mission, as we will probably be killing a demon in the process, and if I rememeber corectly, demon hunting was one of the White Knights' more sacred duties. We do your job, and get an artifact of no value to anyone else. All on the up and up and nothing you need to get entangled with, good sir."
