Robin smirks, from this vantage her hood shadowing her eyes so that only her mouth is visible to Damaia. She keeps her pose, leaning back on her chair, twin hilts winking at Damaia across the table.<br/><br/>"That's Tyrel Egren, Lord of Shellard Manor to smallfolk like you or me," she grins wolfishly. "Your education under a tutor as...erudite...as Meraxes aside, you're barely a freewoman in the eyes of the law. And a Tiefling, to boot." She tilts her head, silently judging, looking for a reaction or a hint of annoyance. "Proper protocol is to be observed! Besides...this one isn't about a wench. It's about an elf maiden."<br/><br/>Robin leans forwards and moves the candle, running her palm flat over the table. It leaves in its wake a white drawing, looking to Damaia like a foorplan of a large house. "Lord Egren's manor is hardly very large," Robin says, her voice suddenly sober and serious. "It won't take very long to search top to bottom. If he has a library it will likely be on the first floor," she taps the image, "but from your correspondence it would seem our Lord is a bit of a fetishist; if he has a dark magic tome he's not letting it gathering dust next to Erendel's Sixth Treatise on Botany. No," she scratches her chin, "in my experience folks with a taste for the weird and Occult usually have a special room for keeping their collection. Usually out of sight, given the sensitivities involved." She sits back and drums her fingers on the table. "More often than not, well-enough protected, too. If there<em>is</em>such a place in the manor, that's where I'll be taking my cut from, too."<br/><br/>"Question is, how does the loyal apprentice wish to proceed? Casing a mark and pulling off a heist somehow doesn't seem becoming of one of Meraxes' finest," she smiles. "Or maybe I misjudged the Fiendblood," she winks.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Robin cast Prestidigitation to draw the map of the manor floorplan on the tabletop.</div></div>
