Shay offered the pickpocket a grin they would never see as she allowed her feet to guide her back into the thick of the crowd and away from her oblivious mark. She made her way to a spot out of the way, likely a patch of wall or window of a storefront, before she examined the contents of the envelope. It would seem Shay had saved herself what could have been hours, if not a whole day's worth of aimless legwork to find some leads. Not one, but<em>two</em>leads were in the envelope for her.<br/><br/>After reading the contents of the scrape and the formal invitation, Shay had to wonder what both were doing in the same envelope. It made her wonder what the pickpocket was doing having the envelope on their person. Perhaps they were linked? For the offer waiting on the roof of the Astronomer's Tower--perhaps it was part of the Ducal Estates?--the sender seemed to not be familiar with the intended recipient. The formal masquerade was...a masquerade. The only concern was who this "Miss Titania" was. Taking stabs in the dark while assuming an unknown's identity had caused Shay to run afoul in the past...though things had worked out fine enough then. Shay decided she'd be more comfortable with at least a couple of details to work with.<br/><br/>Shay tucked the envelope and its documents into a jacket pocket and set off back into the thick of the crowds. There was still plenty of legwork to be done, but at least now it was directed. First things first: where were the Ducal Estates? Maybe along the way she'd figure out who "Miss Titania" was too.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Knowledge Local: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=58324)<br/><br/>Diplomacy (if appropriate: I figure she'd chat people up and get them talking): 24 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=58325)</span>
