After Sharee left, Kilith walked back inside his room, counting the coins she had given him. Sharee was never a client who paid exceptionally well, but it was enough. Luckily for him, he always had his people keep an eye on the town and newcomers to it, to watch for people that could be useful or troublesome. It wouldn’t be too difficult of a job, through it would take a lot of running around. After spending a bit more “quality time” with Ahnasha, Kilith went over to his desk and started to organize his latest reports on the newcomers and mercenaries in the town. There were too many names for him to track down alone, and many probably wouldn’t be interested, but if he delegated the responsibility to others, it would be done by the end of the day. 

Kilith quickly wrote up a letter explaining the nature and specifications of the job, then put it in a large envelope with most of the list of potential recruits, keeping a part for himself. He then got himself dressed in his usual dark leather clothing, which had plenty of pockets and pouches, as was common for members of the Thieves’ Guild such as himself. Kilith walked up behind Ahnasha, who was now in her normal dress eating breakfast at his table. He hugged her from behind while setting the envelope down on the table in front of her. 

“Hey beautiful, I don’t suppose you’d mind giving this to Eltine at the hideout, would you? This job for Sharee is going to take a while, and I’d like to be able to be back here by tonight.” Kilith asked, looking town and smiling at her. 

“But of course, Ahnasha will do so immediately.” She responded.

“Thanks.” Kilith responded, kissing the top of her head. “I’ll try to be back as soon as I can.” He said before leaving the room and heading downstairs. He took a seat in the main room of the tavern, which wasn’t too crowded this early in the morning. Just as he had guessed, however, there were already a few of the potential recruits downstairs, mostly newcomers to the city. He suspected he would be able to find most of those on his list in either the [i]Blackwood Brew[/i] or the [i]Five Claws Lodge[/i], if he was lucky. After checking through the descriptions on his list, he set his eyes on someone who seemed to be a good one to start with. Recently, Leyawiin had been struck by a string of burglaries and the guards were at a loss for who committed them. The Thieves Guild, however, had a bit better of an idea on the perpetrator. The guards had to make due with their own investigations, but the guild had the eyes of every beggar in the streets, every criminal and experienced thief in the city. With their resources, they had been able to piece together a decent description of who it could be, and the man sitting in the corner fit just that. He was a pale skinned Bosmer, or maybe Dunmer; it was difficult to tell. Either way, this man seemed to be the most qualified on the list for Sharee’s job, and if he refused that, Kilith had half a mind to give him an invitation to join the Thieves Guild. 

Kilith tucked away his list into a pouch, then stood up and approached the pale skinned man in the corner. He kept his movements deliberate and obvious, so as not to threaten the rather creepy individual. It was a likely unnecessary precaution, but healthy paranoia had kept Kilith alive in the past. “Hey, got a minute? I’ve got something to say that you might want to hear, something that could make you a fair bit of coin.”
