Helena gave her best smile, "Darling, that one is gorgeous isn't it?" She gestured to a stunning blue dress in a shop window. A nobleman's son following her, entranced by what many would think to be young love but Helena knew it was certainly more nefarious than that. He looked at it briefly and nodded, a nonverbal cue that she could have it. While normally she would have indulged, she hesitated as she felt a twinge guilt, this was the second hapless man she had ensnared this week. She suspected when the Irulans taught that the would was their 'oyster' and despite the fact that those words were directed towards those in the family who actually had the traditional skills, this was probably not what they meant. As such she hesitated and shook her head, "Not my color... maybe some other time." She said and a look of confusion crossed over his face, she was loosing him. Helena sighed, "Well, I must be going. I am very sorry, I can't change your memories too much but you'll definitely think of today pleasantly...[color=lightBlue] the money was spent while you spent the day with a lovely girl. Today was a good day and she said she would write but you're fairly sure she won't[/color]." She used a bit of the voice, it would likely be enough to convince him since he was already in a pretty suggestible state.

An hour and a nice walk through the city had done little to put her guilt to rest. Off in the distance she could see the Magical Jobs institute, a place she had actually avoided in the months since her arrival in the city. The reasons were complex but it boiled down to the fact she knew in the case of most jobs she would be useless and she feared judgement for her abilities. People were better off not knowing what she could do. However she could only swindle the rich of this city for so long. If she could manage to make some powerful friends and keep her magic from blowing up in her face the magical jobs institute would probably be a good fit for her. Plus she didn't necessarily have to take any jobs, she could just check the place out, hopefully. Helena took a deep breath and started towards the Institute. If she could clear her conscious for a while she could go back to her normal, although despicable, lifestyle.
