The change was not missed on the young former street rat who had made her living with her ability to read people for vulnerability so she could steal or manipulate them but as before she said nothing. Another lesson learned from the street was keep your head down and you can get through most anything just fine. She smiled again when Madame Talamh complimented her make up and nodded, "I know." She had learned quickly that although competition kept them working harder to look better then each other, it also was in good sport.<br/><br/>She thanked Madame one more time as the older lady left the room and felt pretty curious to know what sort of trip they might go on as she packed away her make up kit. Kitty had not left the brothel much since she had taken up residence here so it would be lovely to go to town and get some fresh air, especially with her make up so nice. She was also excited to do her chores with Meaghan who had promised to read her stories later tonight, Kitty wondered if she might even learn to read. The thought made her smile all the larger as she tucked the last bit of her make up away and Meaghan showed up at her door. Together they departed to the parlour and Kitty told Meaghan animatedly about her lesson in make up and how she was fairly sure she could do it herself now.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Tori waited patiently for Madame to finish her conversation about the books and for the other woman to leave. As expected the brothel owner got right to business and her expression turned immediately grim. The body guard closed the door as Meaghan left and then took out the pouch he had found and tossed it on the desk between them, "it was in Greers' trash can." He said as he crossed his arms over his massive chest.<br/><br/>"I searched the rest of the room but this was all I found. All the other rooms were completely empty of anything suspicious otherwise," he said watching Madame Talamh closely. He knew how much she liked this group of girls and he was worried for her. Tori could never quite explain why but he cared deeply for this woman, perhaps it was the old soul and sad stories he often saw deep within her eyes at moments like this one.<br/><br/>He was leaning with both hands on her desk as he watched her, "so what now?" He asked finally. Tori knew there was never an easy answer.
