*Sonne is, of course, a bit worried for the thief hiding, she simply waves her hand at Thebes bellow the counter where the guards can't see anything she's doing, and signals Thebes to come closer, pointing to a pretty big cabinet where she can fit quite comfortably, and since there is a false wall inside the cabinet, where she keeps all her money, the stranger can very much hide in there, for now, all she had to do was drop the spear, follow the story that Popopoka snatched off one of their spears. Thebes would have to be quick to understand Sonne, too.*

"Of course not! I am but a simple cook, the most surprising thing i own is a great sword. I have to defend myself from all the thieves i find in my journeys to major cities you know. Also, i am not sure if this little fella was sleeping or not, so she could have very well woken up and i didn't realize it, letting her snatch one of your spear, If you're not satisfied with the explanation and want to investigate, please do so!"

*Sonne smiles warmly and looks at Thebes for only a single moment, it is a look of authority, and her cue to hide in the wagon, she either chooses this now, or has to confront both the guards, and Sonne herself, it is a look pleading for her to avoid conflict, to take the chance given to her, to understand the cook's signals somehow.*

|| No worries! Gf first! >:3

**When they meet eyes, she quickly understands, though keeping the spear between her fingers. She grinds her teeth at cook's superior look. Maybe she was a thief, but she was the gods-be-damned Queen of the Kazumaki thieves, while this girl was a mere traveler.**

**But her fear wins over, and she dips her head to avoid being seen as she slips towards the cabinet with the spear in hand. Unwilling to let go of her newly found claim just yet. In the right hands, it could be both a sword and a shield. *Right now, she needed a shield.***

**The other two guards grumble something about useless worries, but the tall guard steps forward.**

I'll be taking a look alright... Down here, miss, harboring thieves is *Just* As punishable as being one, if not more.

|| already wrote it oops

*Sonne prays so that Thebes realizes there's a false wall inside the cabinet, if she just leans against it, it will be enough to notice the wall shifting, she also prays that the stranger lets go of the damn spear, with luck, both the cook and the thief will come out of this situation just fine. But is profoundly disappointed in the thief for not letting go of the spear, oh well, in the worst case scenario, Sonne is forced to fight, and possibly never come back to Kazumaki again after being outlawed.*

"Of course sir, i don't believe there is anyone in my wagon without me knowing, all i have are culinary supplies, some room for Popopoka, and cooking utensils and such, besides plates and things like that. Feel free to investigate, sir"

*She once again smiles at him, and bows down slightly, she is but a humble traveler, she would never be hiding a thief or something malicious, she is a hard working cook that respects the law and it's enforcers, a pure person, someone many would consider good.*

**With just the right spark of luck, she finds the secret wall and tries to climb inside. Unfortunately, the spear is too large to fit. She cusses under her breath. Footsteps are approaching. With a quick snap, she breaks the spear in two and leaves the handled end silently on the floor just as the guards approach, safely behind the hidden wall. **
Wilma
**The man's heavy figure circles around the wagon like a hawk; beady glare inspecting a familiar hunting ground for prey. He sighs when he comes up without any clues. Then, his eyes land on the broken stick.**

Ay. What's this, miss?
Matthew
*Sonne is actually impressed at how stubborn this thief is, just let go of the damn spear for god's sake, didn't have to break the thing. And now she has to explain why there's a broken stick in the middle of where she keeps culinary supplies. Oh well, it isn't that hard, she could just pass it off as a stick Popopoka found while they were still travelling to Kazumaki*

"Oh, that stick there? I don't know really, probably a stick Popoka found while we were still traveling to here, as i said sir, i have nothing to hide really."

*She shrugs and had a clueless face on the whole time*
