"Y-yes ma'am. Thank you ma'am," Shay stammered, deciding to go all in with the new, timid girl persona. It didn't require much acting on her part; Shay honestly thought that the head maid had seen through her disguise. She noted the pattern of the lacy frill the head-maid at the top of her thigh-highs and made a mental note not to forget them next time she needed to adopt the maid disguise at this particular Palace.<br/><br/>Shay nodded at the guards as she went past, clutching the large, ornate key tightly in her hand. And with that it seemed like she had full reign of the east wing of the palace. Shay decided that she had enough of petty theft for one week with her escapades last night and would keep her hands to herself as she made her way through the east wing's room. The cleaning she would do would be fairly token efforts; she'd sweep and dust enough to get a good canvas of each room in the wing. And to look like she was actually working should the head maid decide to pop her head in to check on her.<br/><br/>Given the chance, Shay would check her disguise, mostly to see if it was still up--she would of course expend some more magics to sustain the facade. Shay steadily made her way to the Astronomer's Tower, marking for herself everything that was worth lifting from the Palace--though perhaps more importantly what she could lift from the Palace and keep on her person.
