Even though most of the instructions Nemesis was giving him were clear and easy enough to understand, Tori still couldn't wrap his head around some things. " Um, okay," He nodded along with her words when she paused to show that he was listening, but every now and then he would look to to Cepheus for confirmation that everything she was saying was true. It sounded simple while she explained it, but Tori knew that if they forced him to test it out now, he'd fail within a minute. But he supposed it could be worse. [i]Jecht[/i] could have been the one teaching him these things and then [i]he'd[/i] be the one getting shocked with lightening. Shuddering at the thought, Tori paid extra special attention to the rest of her speech. When they arrived closer to the buildings, Tori's stomach began to twist and turn. While everyone else was talking, he tugged on Cepheus' hand and whispered to him, " They won't make me do it by myself right...? I don't know if I can..."

"Ah, I too remember my own experiences with the captain." Videl said in a whimsical voice, looking off into the distant night sky. " He taught me how to be a good thief too, not so much in stealth, but in other areas! If you could senorita." He held out his hand to Mariemaia, who placed a rolled up satchel in his hand. " There was no way I could become a silent walker with my bulky muscles, so he taught me other things. Such as breaking and entering!" He laughed as he unrolled the satchel to reveal a number of metal utensils, all of which Tori had never seen before. He crouched by the door and stuck one of the utensils into the lock and then fit another one inside it, and began to fiddle with it. It had taken a while for him to master the art of lockpicking, but as he was a terrible thief and a clumsy walker, this was the only area he could excel in. After a minute or two, with a final jab, the lock popped open and Videl confidently opened the door. As luck would have it, the building happened to be a work space for a carpenter with huge planks of wood littering the floor and tables. " Ah! Perfect! Just what we needed." He walked inside and inspected the wood. It was a little different than the ones they had on the FlyingDeath, but they would no doubt be useful. 

" These will work with fixing the ship. Any volunteers to help me carry all this back?" He looked expectantly to each of his crewmates.

While she was glad that Videl had broken into the building so seamlessly and she would have loved to help out, she had more important matters to think about. Before anyone spoke up about Videl's offer, she announced loudly, in a rushed voice, " I think we should split up!" There was a beat of silence and she quickly backpedaled to explain hurriedly explain herself. " It's just, it'll take us [i]forever[/i] to carry all of this back to the ship. What about Tori's pants? He needs pants! And we still need to find Jecht..." She mumbled that last part under her breath, " So I think we should all split into groups. Videl, since you're so strong, you can carry all this wood right? It'd be no problem for someone like you!" She saw him faintly nod in agreement and she knew that she had him there. 

" And Nemesis, you can show Tori how to steal, firsthand! Cepheus, you can go with them and overlook everything with...you know...your dog senses. And as for me and Charlie, it looks like we're stuck with going to look for Jecht." She sighed, making it seem like it was a [i]burden[/i] for her. She couldn't let it be so obvious that this was her plan all along. Of course she cared about the ship and Tori's pants, but to her, Jecht came before all those things. She had to make sure he was okay and not drinking himself to death or else she wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else.

" You're right," She heard Videl say, breaking her away from her thoughts, " it sounds good to me." He shrugged, and to show that he was on board, he slung five heavy planks of wood over one shoulder as if they were nothing. Excitedly, she turned to the rest to see if they also agreed to her plans.[/center]
