I was planning give them back once they had a "well I guess we really do have to work together" moment. Also like I wrote you can still try to stop Victoria if you want, I explicitly put that she hasn't actually left the room yet.<br/><br/>And if you're really that worried about it then you could always just talk to me and we could work out a reason for her to give them back.<br/><br/>Ex. instead of just saying "you're gonna have to convince my friend to help you, good luck", maybe something like "hey if you give me my stuff back I'll convince her to get your friend out". like actually try to work towards the thing you want to happen.
