[Potential 3. Insecure]

Deception was not really Anathet's strength, but she did want to listen. [Just let me get a little closer Tia. I'm not going to do anything, it would raise too much suspicion anyway. I just want to know what they're planning so I can tell my friends. Then I'll leave, okay?]

Anathet tries to start creeping closer so she can hear everything they're discussing and see the data tablets. She just needs to keep out of sight while going down a ring or so. It's evening, the lights aren't perfect, it really shouldn't be that hard if Tia just lets her move forward a bit more. If she can keep eyes on them, then once they leave, she can grab a copy of the data tablets (or follow wherever they're taken until somebody puts them down). That would be more than enough information to set up an operation against Shamash, or maybe to try for something else secure while everybody is distracted. Either way, these plans are worth well more than a tablet's weight in gold.

So, just, let her get a little closer, okay Tia? Everything will be fine.
