Vengeance Request
Faris approaches you, seemingly composed though rage still burns in his eyes: "I will avenge Luna's death. I'll get to the bottom of this." He speaks with determined, calm certainty. "What about you? You lost significant money in this unfair race - will you just let it go?"

Extra
Accompanying Faris are four slender racing hounds like Luna. Before formal discussion, he introduces each by name, as if they're participants in this meeting.
"This is Gold Sun, this is Silver Mist, this is Thunder Wind, and this fellow is Abdul. Yes, named after the Abdul you know - after his third passive-aggressive courtroom comment toward me, I decided to name a houndafter him and then neuter it." He winks mischievously, then pulls out a necklace with sharp canine teeth. "And my favorite, Luna, I keep with me... at least part of him."
They wag their tails frantically, eagerly placing paws on your legs, nudging your palms with their foreheads... Who could resist petting their clever little heads?
Faris watches you all with a smile, even showing a hint of affection. Only when they nearly knock you down, licking your face, does he intervene. "They adore you - I'm almost jealous - but this confirms you're trustworthy." He extends his hand, pulling you up with newfound sincerity.

They sniff you briefly, seemingly just familiarizing themselves with their master's friend's scent, before returning to lie obediently at Faris's feet, neither barking nor misbehaving - more polite than many nobles' children.
Conditions:
You invite Faris and his hounds into your reception room, asking what truly caused the accident - why did Luna suddenly...?
Faris's expression turns serious. "I'm certain someone used poison - on the bait rabbit that entices the hounds forward. They knew Luna likes tearing into its prey."
He speaks calmly, even with a slight smile. "Luna lost, making many people rich. My money - and money from everyone who believed Luna would win - all went to them. The cost? My Luna, dead."
He shakes his head, continuing: "The hound-fighting pit people know me too well. They'd hide any evidence if they saw me, so I need your help, [player.name]. Help me discover what poison was used, who administered it, and who ordered it... I'll repay you, I swear."
