Ratte's eyes fell onto the gold like magnets out of old habit. The niggling voice that told her to use what she had to take it from him started worrying at the back of her mind, but this time it was drowned out. She had a much larger voice now showing her the mountain of gold that she had stashed and it reassured her that she had no reason to accept this man's offers. She had enough money.

Instead, her mind took a new turn. It was something that she wasn't used to thinking about and it caught her off guard; fear for others. The man wasn't familiar to her and he was looking for information about her, Roxy, Kai, Eryx  and Isago. What if he wasn't trying to join them, but hunt them? Her guards went up and she flicked her dark eyes up to the so-called 'pirate'.

"That's a big chunk of gold you're waving around there, an awful lot more than I'd have expected you to start with for information," she glanced around the bar, looking for anyone suspicious, and laid a hand across her thighs. She leaned forward and stroked the hilt of the dagger strapped to her leg there. It would be awkward to pull it out sat here at the bar, but its presence reassured her. "See, normally I'd expect to bargain up to that amount. What are you really after?" she asked, eyes back on him. She had been hearing whispers recently, that someone had taken out the Black Widow. Having met and been particularly impressed by Roxy herself, Ratte imagined it had been a rough fight and this man looked like he could fight dirty. What if this was the killer?
