[Gumshoe gives a disappointed sigh as he glances around and sees clearly that it's all reset. He was sure that would have worked! What are they supposed to do now?
He looks towards Inigo, to see if he has any ideas. Maybe a younger perspective is what's needed to solve this puzzle!
But then he actually speaks, and his suggestion catches Gumshoe off guard.]
D-destroy the stalls? But that - that just sounds crazy, pal!
[He pauses as he considers it further and strokes his chin.]
So crazy... that it just might work!! If we're stuck by these stalls, maybe they're the source of the magic. That settles it, pal. Earth magic go!!
[With that, he manipulates the ground beneath one vegetable stall, causing it to teeter over and spill produce all over the ground! The merchant cries out for his cabbages.]
[ Maybe if Inigo knew how quickly Gumshoe would be acting upon any plan he'd suggest, he would be a little more careful with suggesting it..
But that's already out of the window now, considering the man is using his power practically instantly after Inigo's suggestion. And at least the fact that Gumshoe even has these powers to begin with is a little less strange after Inigo having learned about the elemental powers sometimes granted in this place quite a while ago. ]
W-Well, that is one way to take care of it..!
[ Inigo sputters. ]
Do we now move and see if it changed anything? [ Or does Gumshoe feel like causing some more destruction. Is this the start of his corruption arc?! His villain origin story?! ]
Gumshoe does feel some guilt watching that guy's standfall apart, but at the same time, it feels oddly fun to mess things up on purpose for a change!]
Hold it, pal. [That's how Gumshoe answers Inigo, as he surveys their surroundings.] Are you sure that'll be enough? After all, if both of us are trapped, maybe we both gotta mess things up.
[He points out an adjacent pottery stand run by a wizened goblin lady.]
Come on, pal, give it a try! Just cut loose and break some stuff!
[ Inigo may be a soldier and all, but this seems like a little bit too much, even for him! Still, since Gumshoe is the one suggesting it, it's not like he's fully dismissing it right away..
Instead the young man is more just looking very confused. ]
But wouldn't they all get very upset if we did that?

[Truly a role model...]

It's okay, pal!! I'm sure they'll understand. Or time will turn back and they won't remember a thing!
[He nudged at the lad's shoulder.]
And you don't gotta break everything, pal. Just do your fair share! [He says with a cheery smile.]
