He took his time examining the traps, slowly spotting more the longer he took, becoming engrossed to the point where he nearly missed Xendi's arrival. Only an errant air current, suddenly blowing his cloak in the opposite direction it had been warned him, and he turned about and gave her a bow. "Greetings my lady. I brought gifts, and some good news. Not about the job yet, the quarry have all slipped from the city the day before we attacked, as if someone had warned them. However..."<br/><br/>He pulled his sole glove off with a flourish, showing off the assassin's guild's mark, revealing he was a member. "Shall we retire inside, where I can properly present the gifts, and then discuss the terms of our job? The previous job contract is no longer applicable, as they have vanished, and while I have people looking for clues, I suspect they will be few and far between. Since the fault is on my end, the terms will be more generous than before."
