Marcus scratched his chin as he looked at the assembled evidence they had gathered. This definitely felt like something that had been planned, although perhaps not by a professional? A laugh was a good way to draw attention to yourself which seemed at odds with trying to quietly steal [i]something[/i]. The imprint he had gotten from the stall had puzzled him as to what had been stolen.

[color=8493ca]"Perfume, fancy silk, and a clasp point towards a noble woman. Not exactly an appearance that'd be discreet in this part of town."[/color] He realized what he'd said and glanced at the people who worked here, [color=8493ca]"no offense. You all look like perfectly fine, clean people."[/color]

An inside job seemed most likely based off the note. Marcus glanced at the stall hand, the only person so far who hadn't said anything. Before he could do anything he saw the sword-wielding woman approach the boy. The spirit medium nodded briefly, glad someone else had the same thought he did.

With the primary 'suspect' being grilled Marcus decided he should distract his boss. If either employee had been involved in the crime it'd be best if they were separated. With that in mind he approached Basi. [color=8493ca]"Would you do me a favor and show me how these ledgers work? I noticed that a page seemed to be missing. Do you have any idea what might have been there?"[/color] He asked with a smile. 

Once they were away from the others Marucs lowered his voice. [color=8493ca]"Sir, with how this is unfolding if you have any information I highly suggest you tell me now. If your boss thinks you're hiding anything I have a hunch he might be a bit drastic with his actions."[/color]
