"Looking for a ring." Lavinia replied in quick Romanian, since speed was vital.  She only knew enough Romani to get around, just what she'd picked up from her father.  She switched back to english now that he knew what they were looking for, but mostly so she didn't have to search for spare bits of grammar. "A wedding ring, inexpensive."<br/><br/>She browsed the selection and found a few that were honestly very pretty, even a few that might be considered beautiful.  But this wasn't about looks, it was practical, something that could be realistically afforded on a professors' wages, and a spy's.  Though the secondary occupation was obviously more loose in regards to what it could be.  There were months of fine wine and meat, and others of poor bread and vinegar.
