Reed was considering responding to Kreiss but decided against it when an old acquaintance had made herself known He couldn't get over how much Viola had changed since he had known her at the orphanage. She was still fairly young when he had left, he wasn't even sure she recognized him, she certainly hadn't made it known if she did. Then again there were some ways she did not change, she still had a bit of an overly idealized view of herself, but it was charming in it's own way.

Two more came and joined the group, or was it three? Did you count someones spirit companion? Reed was unsure, what he was sure of was that if they were going to try and be discreet while searching the Old City they would very likely need to split in to two groups, possibly three. They could figure out logistics later, Viola handed Kreiss a wanted poster for some thief/assassin. If she was an assassin why would she need to steal? People always needed others 'taken care of' so it wasn't hard making money from killing. Perhaps she enjoyed being entirely anonymous. Reed liked the challenge of killing a specific target, not just whoever caught his fancy, plus sometimes he brought people back alive. He remembered one time he went looking for a little girl who ran away from home, he didn't even end up charging for that job, that family was having a hard time and....

Reeds trip down memory lane was cut short as Redeye left the building, dark tentacles coming from his hands. Reed left along with the others, it seemed fortune was smiling upon them, this criminal had taken a wrong turn and was now easily in their grasp. Reed highly doubted she had anything to do with the disappearances, but perhaps she had seen something, she could be useful. Despite being paid to kill people Reed didn't enjoy killing purposelessly. It seemed a few people had their own ideas of what to do with her now. Tying her up with rope would probably be a fine idea if Sagant didn't want to use his magic, though he seemed to be having a good time. Reed didn't particularly enjoy darkness magic, when he tried learning it he just felt...wrong. Which was a shame, because he was sure it could help him with his stealth.

"I agree with...uh..." it took a second for Reed to realize he didn't know the girls name. He knew some of the others from reputation, or just seeing them around, but he knew her from neither. "Sorry, don't know your name yet, I'm Reed," he spoke to her quickly before addressing the group again, "anyways, I agree with her," he pointed at the girl, "we can at least talk like civilized people before doing anything drastic."
