Vladimir let her put the ribbon on him and nodded. He tilted his head. [color=lightblue]"Thank you"[/color] he carefully tied the ribbon and chuckled again. [color=lightblue]"Let's just say it's worth a lot and the museum I give some things to will be very sad....they might try to buy it off of you"[/color] he then opened her hand and put the other in her palm. [color=lightblue]"The choice was mostly too see which you proffered"[/color] he lightly took her free hand and paused. [color=lightblue]"Would you like to see how I make money?"[/color]

Before she could respond he lightly lead her to his room and opened the closet. He pulled open the trap door and assisted her down. The room was dark as he pulled the door shut. However, when he pulled the light on the rows of treasure seemed to take on a life of their own. Each piece glittered and seemed to demand attention. From the loose gems to the ornate cheats on the bottom rows. Each had a history and all were gathered here. He leaned against the wall and took in her reaction with a small smile. He hadn't shown anyone even part of his collection since it was much smaller.
