The questions that many of the more ambivalent nobles asked their fellow men belonging to  Ptolomy's faction covered a whole range of topics, from whether the palace guards really did kill many of the nobles, to the details regarding the country opening up, to even the extent of how solid was Alexander's promises of safety if they stayed neutral.


And all these questions were very broad and penetrating too.


To which the people being asked such inquiries each reacted differently.


The truth was none of them also knew that Alexander was going to make these offers, and so they themselves were almost as flummoxed as the people asking them.


Thus some responded truthfully and said they did not know, some winged it with their own interpretations and addendums, and some simply exaggerated everything, parroting what Alexander said but dialed a few notches higher.
