So, it seems the bandits who were present weren't the only humans in the area. And on top of that, they'd committed a theft of one of the Smith's treasured belongings. Not only was it likely they'd have to retrieve it to get a leg in the door, but earnestly accepting the task also meant that the giants would have a positive impression of them.

It was, while more work, ultimately an excellent inroad.

"Gladly, I can't tolerate thieves," Fio said, her attention drifting from the jar for a moment, "If you could tell us what you know of the perpetrators, that would help greatly."

She paused for a moment. Continuing this conversation on two fronts was tiresome, but she couldn't deny the fact that the unseelie's utility magic intrigued her. Indeed, the two that interested her above all was her capacity to manipulate objects' properties and the mention of altering space inside of the jar.

"I'll take the stick, thank you. You may be able to have it back in the future, however."

It wasn't just a move the Sword Witch made out of caution, but one of curiosity. If these altered objects retained this traits in the hands of others, that would make this a far more useful capability.

And as long as she had access to an Unseelie, why not try and get everything she could out of her?

"I'm curious about the spatial alteration, as well," she said, "And I'd like to see further demonstrations of the changes you can make to objects. If you do, you'll get extra honey bread, and maybe I'll throw in some [i]new[/i] snacks for you. Do you understand?"
