You get down to the monkey's level, while he retrieves a miniature sitar and begins playing it with his hand-tail, "Listen chimp guy, I'm not here for that kind of stuff, I'm actually here to look for something called the Wallflower, do you know what that is?"
Anina notably keeps quiet throughout the social confrontation, preferring to instead quiver behind you with a twitching grip on your jacket.
"Oh? Doth thy ears deceive me? Do you speak of the Wallflower of ancient deepest lore? Doth yes in which case, the name does strike familial chords! And it is those chords that I play now! Do do, do, doo doo doo do dum dum doo~~"

Squire Aipom blinks and comes back to reality, he covers his mouth with one of his smaller hands and starts to giggle, "Truly truly, I speak true! The Wallflower is here, or maybe it's not, doth how I should know?! It comes from an old ancient folklore legend, that much I know, it probably doesn't exist, so why waste your time? Thy true passion should be sitar playing, always sitar! Daw daw, daw daw daw, doooo~ Doo doo dum dum dum dododo duuuum~"
