The warmth of the liquor and the mention of gold spread warmth through Emmaline's belly. She had been debating whether it was better to simply abandon Nuln and head back to Altdorf and collect her share from Albrect. The problem with this plan was she didn't actually have any coin to buy passage. Under normal circumstances she could have simply pawned her dress, but after the disatorous visit to the mine head, that was ruined. The jewels she still had, while pretty, wouldn't pass muster at any real jeweler, and pawning them in an alley somewhere was as likely to get her a dagger to the kidney as a few coins. As her only option to get back to Altdorf was to steal something to pay her way, or unthinkably, get a job, she might as well take a shot at the crime that was in front of her, rather than risking trying to start something of her own with limited resources. 

"Sounds like we have a deal," Emmaline purred eyes alight with the thought of gold in her hands. She wondered what Neil considered to be exciting, though given the day they had been through, it must be something to make the cut. She took the bottle back from Neil and took another long drink. Letting out a pleased sigh she took some of the dry fruit and dropped a few pieces into her mouth. With some money of her own she might be finally able to get out from underneath Albrecht, though that was tricker than it sounded.
