[i]"I hope you did not think to drink without me, my dear."[/i] 

Amusement lit up her gray eyes. [b]"You couldn't have more impeccable timing, sir. I must compliment you on your entrance, all my other guests predictably use the door. Curious thing, shadows."[/b]

He praised the wine, and she nodded when he guessed correctly. She was aware of the fact he owned his own vineyard, but it surprised her that he truly was an expert in his drinks. Normally nobles didn't bother nowadays with knowing the in's and out's. Mainly their cares were only for how much money they could make, and who they could use to get there.

[i]"But I do not intend to bore you and waste time with such irrelevancies. I am here to assist you in planning the heist, and my intelligence is at your disposal, mi'lady." [/i]

Evelyn followed his gaze as he sat opposite of her, a glitter in her eyes. [b]"You're one of the few who could never bore me, my lord. But I would be grateful if you could sate my curiosity. Do we have anyone on the inside in Marceilles? Any friendly faces that could be bribed to keep doors open? Any secret entrances not recorded? Any events for the castle coming up?"[/b]

She pursed her lips, thinking up a list in her head. Her fingers absentmindedly stroked the satin edge of her second hood. [b]"There's only a few ways I see of getting in. Either we sneak over the wall and quietly take out anyone in our way, or dress up as servants and blend in, or maybe someone stays the night due to poor weather and opens the door for my thieves when everyone's asleep."[/b]

Evelyn sipped at the last drops in her cup, mildly surprised she already polished it off. Of course, she'd never admit it but the heist worried her. That stress somehow trickled its way into her wanting another glass of wine, which she delicately poured for herself. 

[b]"Fancy some more, my lord? It truly is divine."[/b] She said, holding the bottle out. If he wanted more, she'd pour for him. Eventually setting the bottle back on the table, she leaned back in her seat and enjoyed the fact she was allowing herself a second glass that night.

[b]"This is by far going to be one of the most riskiest heists we've ever encountered as a team. If Agravaine knew, he'd be on his horse right now with an angry mob of peasants behind him. They do love their Baron, you know. Something about minimal fairness does that to simple folk, when really they're no better off than ours."[/b] Evelyn said, a slight bite behind her words. 

She blinked, a wolfish grin playing at her lips. [b]"The most difficult challenge of this entire heist, however, is trying to leave. Removing all the wealth from within the treasury, and somehow transporting all that out without anyone knowing. Flawlessly and efficiently too? That's a puzzle..."[/b]
