Alma paused for a moment and looks at the floor.  She wouldn't have thought he would be anything dangerous, but now she's not so sure.  Many things she was certain of had been challenged today.  "If in being honest, I can't say for sure that he is or isn't involved with this.  I really don't think he would be, but that's not a guarantee," she sighs before realizing something.  "Oh! But he's out of town right now.  He shouldn't even be back until tomorrow afternoon, and that's if he doesn't hang around longer, which he has a history of doing.  We could be in and out before there's a single noble in the house," she explains and looks back over to him with a reassuring smile.  "Ah, um but it's your call.  My knowledge comes from books, as much as I hate to say it, you may know better in these situations than I," she averts her eyes and regains her neutral expression.
