“Yeah.” Izzy glanced down at herself. “And I’ve got about as general of an understanding as you can get.” Her head perked up slightly as Cerasus apparently recalled having something to add. 
	Izzy watched him go after yet again dropping an important piece of information on her as if he had just told a child that the grass was green. Cerasus’ doubt that Thurdge would try that was far from reassuring. He had also doubted that the three would still be working together. She made a mental note to make sure to watch out for that.
	Yet, the confidence he seemed to have in her abilities despite having failed the first time made her wonder. After all, he did not gain a reputation for nothing, and he seemed quite positive that she possessed a similar prowess.
	Still, walking into a fight with only the hope that she could win based on that would be idiotic. With the exit open, Izzy stepped out into the glorious night. She quickly checked that she still had the twenty dollars she had taken from her wallet and shoved in her jacket pocket just in case, then headed to the only bookstore in town that stayed open after dark, keeping to the shadows of the deserted side streets as much as possible.
