It does sound like the perfect distraction (for the plot progression) to have a little background exclamation in particular when Candy brings out the spider egg, Everybody paying attention to Bill instead, even the vigilant Delsin. Some "what happened? are you alright? what's going on?" in the distance?
One bit of dialog I think could be improved, with the: "Yea… why’d you ask?". Mejson looks down at the ground lowering his hand and says: "Nothing" ...maybe "Nevermind" or "No reason" instead of Nothing?
Also the forty mercenaries bit... forty mercenaries?! That's a looot of mercenaries.
Hard to grasp Bill's character lately hmm. He seems nicer this time again.
Nice part. Really a lot of things going on with this one. Plenty of surprises.
Mejson
I feel like more dialogue needs to be added when the camera shows Candy. Then it should be hear (a bit quieter) like Mejson and Mr Mate and then MariogD react to Bill's faint / they check what happened to him / try to wake him up.
Do you think so too? :P
