Carelza decided not to do anything rash, and just blabber away with the guards in the meantime. "So, I should head for 'The Lost and the Damned' instead? Alright. But do you know of a good clockworks and mechanics emporium in town? preferably over at the west end" - Carelza pointed away from the house - "Where my rep can be slung around for a discount or something." All the while, she stays on the opposite side of the road from the house, to keep the guards' attention fixed on her.
