				<br>&nbsp;The moon was rising to the pinnacle of the sky, shining its luminescent rays of light downwards onto the planet in a feeble attempt to chase away the shadows of the night. But the sky was cloudy, and occasionally the moon would be shrouded behind the clouds, casting the world into utter darkness, making it almost impossible to see, unless you had an immediate source of light.<br><br>&nbsp;"... are you ready?"<br><br>&nbsp;Edge said these words to the only other person who would be on the rooftops at this late hour. His face wouldn't move away from where he was looking, a fenced in mansion under guard. The mansion was owned by one of the wealthiest men in the city, so was optimal for a target. After all, the guy wouldn't be too bad off for losing a few items of value... and it would provide some slight challenge for her, so she can work on bettering her skills. Something like this might not be too hard for him... then again, didn't know the full extent of the defenses.<br><br>&nbsp;Turning on the balls of his feet, remaining in a crouched position, his eyes would ease over to her, unable to see little more than her outline since the moon was currently hidden... but a moment later clouds would slide away, letting the light shine down, illuminating the girl that was only a few feet from him. Little would be seen of his flesh, wrapped almsot entirely in dark clothing, even his face covered, as well as a hood drawn up over his face. He was very serious when it came to hiding his identity while on a job... (*gives an excuse as to not having to show his features til their done :P*)<br><br>&nbsp;"Think your ready for this? I'm going to leave the majority of this job in your hands... so show me what you've learned. I'll be there to back you up, but I don't want you relying on me... understand?"

				She would have snapped at him if they had time to argue, had time to lose concentration, but they didn’t. It didn’t matter if she was ready, the time was now.&nbsp; Like her partner, she was dressed in black and deep browns, a few smoky grey wrappings around her ankles. The material was light and slightly loose, allowing the freedom of movement and the just a slight fluttering sound in strong breeze that few could hear who did not master the art of knowing their surroundings so well that even the slightest change could alert them. She was convinced no such master would be found here. <br><br>Slowly, Jasmine closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, calming herself, going over her strengths in her mind. Speed, agility, reflexes, all of those were proven on the job and in battle though any good thief knew to avoid battle at all costs. The idea was to enter and leave without anyone knowing the better, or at the very least, if you must make contact, kill or disable them so that you were long gone before they were aware.&nbsp; Crouching, she moved forward a little, just enough to peer past the roof to the ground below. Her pale olive green eyes looked to him. “Through the window, down the hall 100 paces, immediate left and behind the picture with a rose in the corner is the glass case with our prize. I will be in and out before they even know we are here.” That was the plan anyway.<br>

				<br>&nbsp;Edge would let a slight curl of his lips form, though she'd be unable to see it beneath the clothing. He was of the age and experience to be able to be relaxed in such a situation, though she was still new enough to the game that she could only feel utter seriousness.... or perhaps thats simply how she operated. At her words, he would slowly nod his head, turning to scan his gaze at the guards, a couple at the gate, and one or two just randomly walking the grounds.<br><br>&nbsp;"Sounds right... but knowing the path, and being able to walk it without a hitch are two separate things. Lets see if you can..."<br><br>&nbsp;He knew that his words might slightly irk the woman, whose beauty was hidden beneath her clothing, but if he didn't push her, then who would? He'd slowly turn, fully facing her for a moment, and would smile a little more.<br><br>&nbsp;"Ready whenever you are, princess..."

				“Don’t call me that.” She ran forward suddenly, seeing an opening. Although Jasmine was not opposed to killing, she didn’t prefer it. Death was sloppy, battles uncertain. If there was even a chance to avoid it, she would take. And that was the moment, when the two guards faced away from one another and the guards at the gate became preoccupied for a moment with a discussion, maybe a joke. It didn’t matter. She leapt down from the roof top, tucked in tight, rolled landed silently and flung herself through the window, breathing quickly as she landed in darkness. Maybe he would follow, maybe he wouldn’t. She was supposed to worry about him, and only focus on her task. That is what she did, although there were valuables in this room, she didn’t let them distract her… they were here for one thing and any deviation from the plan could lead to trouble. Carefully, back against the water she peered into the hallway, scanning for signs of others already seeing where she needed to turn. She smiled a little, eager but cautious as she continued.

				<br>&nbsp;With her focus on her own movements, she likely wouldn't notice what Edge was doing..... especially considering how he didn't immediately follow her, but rather gave her some distance, just in case. <br><br>&nbsp;As for her, she would be in a hallway that was quite dark, save for the beams of moonlight cast through windows. Paintings and pedestals topped with artifacts and treasures lined the hallway. About 2/3rds the way down the hallway was the door that led to the room that had the item they were looking for. But next to the doorway stood 2 guards, simply standing there and idly chatting.... likely supposed to be roaming guards, but being somewhat lax in their duties.

				As she leaned against the wall again, careful not to cast so much as a shadow as guards walked by, Jasmine’s heart pounded. This was no trinket they sought, no small pointless thing. It was valuable, yes, but also prized by its owner. It was a foolish thing, she knew, to think about defeat while committing the act of thievery, but it could not be helped.<br><br>These men, they chatted like fools when they were to continue on. She weighed her options, thinking in her mind of how two daggers would lay them flat to the floor, never to rise again, but the bodies would be found the hunt begun that night. She wanted to get in and out, let them not discover the theft until the morning, when they were long gone, so she waited. Maybe, maybe it would look weak to him, like she was unwilling to kill for what she wanted, that was a risk she was willing to take.<br>

				<br>&nbsp;Patience would seem to work, since after about 5 minutes, the guards would turn, and move about their rounds, though of course together. Which would leave the hallway completely open and available for her to move. The door to the room was closed, so she'd have to move down there, and investigate a bit to find that the door.... was locked. Of course, being as rich as this guy was, he had the money to invest in some hellacious locks. But she would be trained in being able to undo this kind of lock... after all, what kind of thief would she be if she didn't know how to get around locks, either by picking, or some other little maneuver.

				She let out a sigh of relief, despite herself as the men turned and walked away, finally continuing on their rounds. She didn’t wait for them to be completely out of sight to move, wanting to get back on track, back in time with the plan. As far as she was concerned, the plan was everything.&nbsp; At the door, she did wait, careful not to make a noise until their voices were but a distant, low echo in the hallway, then she removed her tools and began to work on the lock. It was the quietest way to take down a door, for now, and she still intended to come and go before anyone was the wiser.

				<br>&nbsp;After a few moments of jingling with the lock, it would give a soft -click- which spoke of it now being quite... unlocked. And with a turn and a push, the door would easily open for her, giving her access to the dark room. There was only a single window in this room, casting a ray of light in, though it wasn't quite enough to illuminate the whole room. But all around the room, pictures dotted the walls almost to the point of not even being able to see the wall beneath, and pedestals stood, crowned with artifacts, vases, and other things of great value.... obviously this was a room for showing off ones collection of valuables.<br><br>&nbsp;Now the question is... where exactly is the safe she's looking for? She knew it was behind a painting... but there are easily 30 paintings in the room, so unless she knows exactly which one, she might take a good couple minutes to find it.

				Now this was something she had not been expecting. 30 paintings, 30 possible hiding locations. Was she to heck each one then, spin them around and examine the content. Jasmine sighed and walked to the first painting, one of a flower and a vase, simple and painted with a light hand yet the wall behind it was solid. She did the same for the next and then next having nothing to show for her efforts. She looked over her shoulders, feeling a light panic arise. This was not part of the plan and it slowed her down to the chance of risking an encounter with the guards, especially since she had to turn each one so slowly, so carefully as to not make noise. Her gloved hands, they trembled just a little, already shaken by the unexpected turned of events.

				<br>&nbsp;Tick.... tick.... tick....<br><br>&nbsp;It was almost as if she could hear a clock going off in her mind, with each second that went by, the possibility of her getting discovered increased. So that slight panic she was feeling was well deserved... after all, nothing good would happen if she was found.<br><br>&nbsp;She'd get through half the paintings, finding nothing but bare wall behind them all, before she'd hear a noise at the door, the handle turning and the door easing open slightly.<br><br>&nbsp;"... hey, wasn't this door suppose to be locked?"<br><br>&nbsp;It was the voice of one of the guards from earlier... obviously having come back around for their checks.<br><br>&nbsp;"... I think so. We better check it just in case, lest the lord of the manor have an attack of some kind."<br><br>&nbsp;And with that, the door would slowly be eased forward, and the two guards would enter, looking around... whether they see her or not would depend on what actions she took.

				Jasmine was quick to think and quick to act, like most good thieves would have to do. She moved to the window, and hid behind the curtain, not just stand there of course, where her feet could possibly be noticed if they shifted even a little, but scaled up the wall, her muscle aching as she used her legs and arms to keep her steady in the corner. By the time they entered, there was no movement from her and her breathing was nearly silent despite the strain. She listed, carefully, hoping that they may just reveal to her what she sought, and unwittingly aid in the planned heist.

				<br>&nbsp;Well, on the plus side, Jasmine's quick movement would leave her well hidden. The two guards who entered the room didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The only down side was, that was all they did was look. Whether they knew there was a safe in the room or not was unknown, but if they did know, it didn't seem as if they were too concerned with it, considering that none of the pictures really looked moved or tampered with. So with a shrug, they'd step back out, and close the door, once more locking it, <br><br>&nbsp;So again, she'd be left to the room, obviously alone, with still countless pictures to check to find the safe. If nothing else, this would hopefully teach her a bit about patience.

				She knew that her mentor was near, perhaps even in the building itself although she did not see him follow her nor did she see him now. This forced her to proceed as if she were alone, and she held no illusions that he would assister her at his own peril anyway. One by one she checked behind the ridiculous amount of paintings hanging on the otherwise simple looking wall. Carefully, each one was returned to place though she could not linger on any of them too long and risk those men returning a second time. In the back of her mind, she was counting the minutes anyway, knowing that to stay in this room long would mean disaster in any case. She wanted, beyond almost anything else aside from success, for this to be a bloodless escapade, for in her mind that was the mark of a true talent. A skilled thief would be the one who was like a passing shadow, a phantom, never seen, never heard and whose success might not be discovered until the morning or even a matter of days.
