It's very tough but edible beef jerky. Somewhat tasty, too, though the difficulty of chewing it would create some jaw pain.

The silence in the room drags on. Nevareh certainly is taking her time.

Nezetta picked at the guards statement for a moment, before the obvious answer came to mind. She had always been told to slow down- She didn't need to grow up so fast- Her body wasn't capable of keeping up with her mind, they said, and when she grew older, it would become a painful reality for her, and she knew it. So, she took their advice...

And acted as immature as she could, picking out the phrase she thought would help her most. "Ah, ah! I didn't say anything about theft. You did. Why would you even mention theft if there was a fire? It's not like common arsonists are also burglers."

The guard appears taken aback- he didn't expect to hear anything like this, and he had policed the sentence in his head before he spoke it.

And a little girl just talked a circle around him.

This has not been a good day.

"... All right, I admit that part of my statement had to do with the rumors that have been floating around town. You said you heard something about it, and so I assumed you had heard the rumor. If you haven't heard said rumor, you can probably piece it together. Now, if you'll excuse us, milady, we have business to attend to. If you have any inquiries to make, and you absolutely have to talk to the Baronian guard, then please go to the station I just directed you to or central headquarters at the castle."

He then bows and waits for he and his contingent to be dismissed.

Nezetta bowed, smiling a bit. "Thank you for your assistance." And, with that, she turned, and headed to the station she was directed to earlier.

Win yawned.

"Okay, now it's boring. Mae, you wanna help me loot the place? You can have half of whatever we get. Dae, I'll give you two thousand zante to trap Nevareh in whatever room she's in. Be creative about it."

"Trust me." Mae simply stated. "It's really not worth it to loot the place. Or in your best interests."

As Nezetta approaches the station, she notices the larger amount of traffic on this street than on the previous streets she has been on. The police station itself isn't seeing much traffic at all, and is rather small. It doesn't look like a place where she could put her abilities to good use, although it might just be a clever facade for a secret, underground lair.

Nezetta walked twards the station, trying to look as respectable as possible upon walking in. Once she was inside, she approached the first guardsman she saw, and asked them as clearly as possible- "Who's in charge here?"

Winfred stifled a yawn at Dae. Coward though he was, he wasn't quite yellow enough to be afraid of -Daen'jr-, of all people.

"I was thinking less of a 'take everything valuable and pawn it for fun and profit' than a 'take what we can carry and put it on the roof for kicks and inconvenience', really. Not much of a difference, law and money aside," he explained to Mae.

"Yeah." responded the succubus. "But I think she keeps booby traps up there. And crocodiles. Have to protect your abode, you know."

"Naw, I keep the crocodiles in the basement. But you're right about the booby traps."

Nevareh emerges wearing a loose sweater over a blouse with loose tan pants tucking into slightly out-of-style boots with her hair tied back into a bun. Her eyes are clear, her face is fresh, and she smells just a little bit of cinnamon. It's amazing that she looked like hell not thirty seconds ago.

"Dae, if you find anything of value here, tell me. You might hear a rumor or two, but I haven't found anything worthwhile in this place in the three years I've lived here. Hell, what I'm wearing right now is worth more than the furniture, and I doubt my icebox would travel far before it started doing something unpleasant. 'ccording to the appraiser, that's the most valuable thing in here. Too bad appliances aren't too cooperative."

Win raised an eyebrow. "Sure, if you're wholly, wholly incompetent with maintaining them.

And if you want to be sappy and cliche, you could say there are four things of value here. Eight, if you stretch it a little. But I digress. Hello again!"

"You ever tried stealing one out of an apartment? They're bulky, heavy, and they might leak. Not cooperative at all, like jewelry or easily carried art."

She stretches and lays herself out on her couch before she starts talking again.

"Mmkay, I could use an appretice. Adults are easier to handle than kids, though not as receptive. Sconner always kept one of those little wankers around, so I might as well keep the tradition going. If you try to steal from me, feel free. I won't miss anything. If you go to the police, I doubt you'll get anywhere. When a wanted fugitive can walk on the streets without the guard noticing, then they've got something else on their minds. This whole shenanigan with the Castle would have made the crime rate skyrocket if most people knew what it meant. If I really wanted to, I could go on a petty theft spree by myself and stay safe and sound because the guard's got other things on its mind. Still, that won't net me much aside from living expenses for about a month or two. Hence, I'm going after bigger game."

She emphasizes this with another stretch and a yawn. Despite the fact that she's basically selling her "Master Plan" to other people, she seems quite bored.

"That game is the Airship. You've been around, you've heard the rumors. People think that Airship plans have been stolen from the Castle. Tons of nobs from around Igala are here, many of them not exactly too friendly but not hostile either to Baron."

She scratches the back of her head. Oh, the drama!

"No, I don't know who or what started that fire, and I don't know why. I do, however, have some very brilliant friends who lack common sense and are designing an airship for me as an intellectual exercise. I get to keep the plans, which, on a whim, I'm asking them to make a final draft of on extremely durable, well-made, high grade vellum which I had lying around. These plans should, to any engineer outside of Cidolfas, seem genuine enough to be real. They'll be an imitation of the secret ace Baron has had up its sleeve since the War of the Crystals: How to build military airships."

She arches her back and makes herself more comfortable on the couch.

"Any country in its right mind would be thrilled to have airship plans for an airship that can mount and fire artillery without terrible difficulty and inefficiency. Any nobleman in their right mind would love to be around to present those plans to their monarch. And, if my friends are doing it right, no one will suspect a thing until someone tries to actually build one. They may be brilliant, but I doubt they can succeed where others have failed for four hundred years. Our game will be to work the nobles until we find someone who'd be interested in purchasing these plans, rig up an exchange, and take all the money out of this city to turn it into something else. The only big thing I think we might have to worry about is the group of people who actually attacked the castle, if they exist. The Crown Investigators won't tie us into the incident because we're under the radar and I have a rock-solid alibi that not only garuntees that I didn't do it, but I couldn't contact other people who did."

She sits up, finally, and fluffs a pillow in her lap while finishing her spiel.

"The true beauty of this plan lies in the details. I'll try to avoid not telling you things that would be useful to know, but I won't be giving everything up to you all right away. There might be honor amongst thieves, but that honor tends not to stick around when big piles of money come into the equation."

"Depends who we sell it to, but I'm guessing a hot item like that would go for at least ten million Zante."

Win crossed his arms and looked at the floor in thought.

"By the way you're talking... you still need to find your mark, and you'll only have one. Am I the only one who sees the problem with this?"

"I do need to find my mark, and in the end I can only sell it to one person, yes. It loses its value if there are multiple copies floating around, since no one wants an advantage that everyone has. However, that doesn't prevent me from soliciting as many people as I want to. I just can't take money from all of them, though. Otherwise we wouldn't have anywhere to go TO. When playing ball with people, high density in marks might work, but with countries, you need somewhere to go with your money. That doesn't work if everywhere is waiting for you to show up so they can throw you in the clink."

"Actually, Mr. Tym-whatever, it wouldn't be that easy of a street. Least, not for a while, because you'll have a nation-wide manhunt after you, which will probably extend to their allies, as well."

Mae stopped there for the moment, waiting for his reaction. She ws determined to crush his spirits somehow.

"That aside, any potential marks we're looking at, specifically?"

Winfred chuckled quietly. "Seems I've more than enough to learn from you, Nevvy."
