The shadow that Joss Fletcher took notice of didn't take long to find the footprints he left behind. It studied the path which they led to and then vanished. It didn't take a pathfinder to know the tracks were cleared off, but it was amateur work at best to go about it that way. Without any sign of more prints, the shadow was sure whoever it was that snuck into the estate was still there.

The three other figures were close by, but they used the foliage of trees and bushes scattered throughout the estate to conceal their movements. Sounds of hoots echoed from the darkness. They were signal fires to warn each individual and marked the beginning of a very cautious hunt for who decided to choose the same house as they did. The figure Joss saw decided to take point and use a window to slip in. The first and only sound was that of the wood creaking under its weight, but it was soon muffled by the quiet of night. It moved slowly, caring to find another trespasser than necessarily going after the treasures it was originally seeking.

Another shadow came out of the dark, letting moonlight shine on its back before entering from the side opposite to the first.

Joss had nothing to do but wait. It was awful, and in some small sense, familiar. He hadn't expected the house to be the target of three thieving efforts in a single night — not at all — it was why he'd left some tracks, as he knew they wouldn't be visible except from close up to the house, which no one of honest purpose should have reason to do if they didn't see the rest — he'd planned to exit by the same track and clear up the rest then. 

What would he do if they opened this specific cabinet... There wasn't any real way to disappear. Perhaps if the opened the other side of it, the other door, they *Might* Not spot him, but that was his best hope. He had to wait til the way was clear — though it was dark in the house, and darker in the cabinet. He had only the spaces between tilted wooden slats to see through.

But the house was large. It might take them a long time to find him, at least...

Emiko let out a silent huff of frustration. She didn't know where the kid was, didn't know where the other thieves were, and frustratingly, didn't want to leave, as she doubted that the kid had left.

So she eventually made a decision, and keeping close to the wall, she adjusts her camo to make her almost completely invisible, aside from her eyes while open, and silently moves to a spot near the entrance hall, tucking herself between a pair of objects, so that hopefully no one would bump into her, before closing her eyes, rendering her both blind, and invisible, relying on only her hearing and awareness to tell what was happening.

She knew she couldn't spend the time looking for the kid, and she wasn't about to leave either, so the best she could hope for, is to stay hidden, and be ready to jump in should anything happen

Two figures lurked outside while the other two checked indoors. They were sure that at least one other was among them because there were no return tracks.

One of the shadows went upstairs through the main hall, making the staircase creak at one or another step.

The other opened drawers and cabinets, more in search of something valuable than the other trespasser.

Joss heard drawers opening and shutting, and cringed. Bad. Bad plan. They were being very thorough — that meant these were fellow thieves, too, and not guards. He might have just come out, had it not been for the earlier meeting with the lady thief, and the pause it had given him. What he *Needed* Was a *Distraction*, before they got too close — he grabbed hold of the ledger book beside him — tipped open the door of the cabinet enough to see — and chucked it through the only doorway he could see, into the next room, which seemed empty for the moment, and which connected to the room he was pretty sure he was hearing all the drawers move from.

That would keep attention off his spot for only a few moments — so he moved quickly after that, rushing to open the window, get through and *Run* Out into the snow as fast as he possibly could. At least he had 'fast' on his side. What he didn't have was the knowledge of how many other thieves there were, and that there were more waiting outside. Nor did he have the ability to see the lady-thief.

Emiko kept her breathing quiet, taking in as much sound as she could. The stairs creaked, indicating the presence of someone, possibly bigger than the kid, and the shuffling of drawers and cabinets suggested that there was at least 2 hanging around, assuming the kid wasn't dumb enough to keep looking for shit.

The sound of a book clattering to the ground was enough to cause a pair of amber eyes to suddenly appear on the wall, as Emiko opened them just in time to see Joss making a dash for a window. 

They were only open for a second however, as she took in as much as the room in front of her, before closing them and stepping away from the wall, aiming to follow Joss while invisibly blinded, something she had practiced often, though less-so when people were moving around
