You should totally use emotional blackmail. Because that always works on women.

"I helped you get your husband back. You owe me some sweet cryptid facts as a reward!"

The lieutenant shuts his eyes briefly...

"That's not how the world works. Let's get back to our investigation, shall we?"

"I'm very grateful to you, sweetie. But -- now that I think about it -- you should talk to Morell about cryptids. He could tell you so much more!"

She turns to Morell. "Right, honey?"

"Sure, why not?" He scowls.

Nope, you don't have any new winning tactics to get the woman to spill the beans about cryptids.

You're an enthusiastic idiot. But you're still an idiot.

"I want to know everything about cryptids. Living cryptids, extinct cryptids, marine cryptids, land cryptids. Bring it on!"

"We don't have time for Cryptozoology 101. Let's get back to work, shall we?"

"Sorry, sweetie. I can't get into that just now. Garte did say he could deliver a telegram for me earlier, and I should really notify our house sitter about our delay..."

Oh no, she's making excuses. You're not interesting enough to talk cryptids with.

She frowns. "Oh dear. Normally I would be happy to talk cryptids all day, but I'm just so frazzled right now, I couldn't tell a tadpole from a fingerling."

"Uhm... Do we have time for breaks to listen to theories about imaginary animals?"

"It won't take long... what harm could hearing about one, just one little cryptid do?"

The lieutenant mutters something under his breath but nods for you to go ahead.

"But just one. I doubt your partner would appreciate it if I were to distract you from your duties for much longer!"
