Two Thieves discussing matters in a protected location, the subject a thug, a thug that had stolen from them, was it the same thug, or a different thug, and why was this thug or these thugs out and stealing instead of being thuggish, aggressive and brutish.

Sometime later, four Thieves on a Trader's Route. Ready to defend Crossing, but no attack comes, they turn to discussing, and thugs out and about in Crossing, why are they out. Not stealing, not being thuggish, perhaps information gathering.
