Jian let out a hum and smiled.<strong>"There's nothing wrong with feeling you can trust in your guards. If anything it shows confidence in their ability, and their honesty. As I said, this might be a case of someone having been mislead by the use of magics, believing they were borrowing something that wouldn't be risky to take and return. If someone used such magics to make a person forget they ever took the item though, they wouldn't remember to bring it back, and so might even be clueless..."</strong><br/><br/>She tapped her lips and hummed, before blushing faintly at the few thoughts of hiding a magical item on her presence so the wards wouldn't detect it. Of course, it would depend greatly on the size of the said item and whether or not it would show through clothing or if it would require something else like her bag of holding or what, but again a distracted guard might miss a sign of something being taken out far easier than an attentive one.<br/><br/><strong>"This might be a bit crude, but asking if any of the guards have had a recent, short affair might offer some idea. Some sweet woman or handsome man sweeping one of them off their feet, whispering sweet nothings while caressing them. A short affair that ended a bit before the item went missing?"</strong>She thought the idea worth mentioning, but then looked at Alana seriously.<br/><br/><strong>"You did mention you felt the magics here though, can you show me where?"</strong>She looked curious, intent on inspecting the point that Alana had noticed the trace, wanting to try and 'sample' the magic somehow herself.
