Kilona listened to the guard talk about what was missing. The strange stone with a glow to it caught her attention; That sounded special compared to the rest of the items that went missing. She also listened as he described an elven woman wearing tattered robes who had a strange machine. He named the dwarf who accompanied the elf as a suspect because he was found poking around this room. 

When he mentioned Delgren and how the kobold said he would look into it. She silently agreed with Delgren's words about actually catching them stealing before facing them. When the guard started complaining and saying that Delgren was spineless, that was when Kilona rolled her eyes and clearly tuned out the guard in favor of investigating. Her lion tail flicked in irritation and a low rumble comes from her throat as the guard continues complaining. 

Thankfully, she finds something of interesting, and her body language shows curiosity more so than irritation. 

She immediately spotted the two crates that look like they were pried open and closed again poorly: Clearly whoever opened them was in a hurry, or were trying to not get caught. How did this guard not notice this? [color=fff200][i]Oh wait...he's still complaining...[/I][/color]

She peeks inside to see the lumpy black rocks in one crate and raw ore in the other. She also notices something behind the crates. She does indeed ask about it, but she did need to get him to stop complaining first.

Before the guard can react or be offended, she points out, "[color=fff200]There's something behind the crates here. Can I get a light?[/color]"

Once the guard provides a light, she looks carefully to see what is hiding behind the crates.
