'I don't have the map yet, but I'll have someone go in there and fetch it from the town hall tonight! I promise...' Raegan promised to the man... Garrett's eyes met the Hullston's. 'In fact... There! That man, he has worked for me! He'll get it for us tonight. I know he will.' Raegan promised with a nervous chuckle without consulting with Victor. The blonde grinned and leaned towards his... perhaps tipsy? partner in crime. 'Looks like our pal, Raegan... Is going to settle our bill for tonight.' he said smirking and nodded at Raegan the smuggler.

Phoebe looked up at Victor because she had not kept listening to Raegan and his plea for Victor to do his dirty work, "Now isn't that sweet?" The Nature Goddess said, raising herself to stand up straight and fix her tank top a little so nothing would practically fall out. What a good vessel she had. "I hope it is something fun." She stared with a smile at Raegan, of course she would tag along.

In his slightly inebriated state, Victor was shameless enough to let his eyes wander to Phoebe's provocative parts, only momentarily though. Then he slid pursed his lip to avoid chuckling at the nervous state of the smugger and stood, contemplating whether he should play the part of an underling or make things worse for the poor man. Before he'd made his choice though, the pipe-wielding man said 'For your sake, I hope your workers are as promising as you say they are.' following it with a snicker and finally left the shack.
'Double the reward, for both of us.' Victor said sternly, exploiting the assumed desperation to be demanding. Raegan just nodded and wiped his brow and then took off his hat to wipe the sweat off his bald head too. 'Ok. Just fetch me the map please, it is in the Town Hall... Can't have a commotion or my whole ring will be busted, if you two manage that, we have a deal.' he said and went on to give some more details. 'Sounds like fun to you?' he asked Phoebe after he shook on the deal and chose a spot to meet Raegan following the burglary. 'Should be quite a task in our current state...' he added, snaking an arm around her again.

They walked back towards the town, using the same shortcut they had before. It led precisely to their destination. He scoured the building from afar, narrowing his eyes to attempt gaining some clarity in the dark path, lit only by the sparsely placed streetlights. 'One would think they'd have more lights around the famous town hall...' he observed, scratching his chin. 'You got a plan? I say we climb through that window in there...' he inquired and suggested, pointing to the one in question. 'Someone was kind enough to leave it open too.' he added. The moon peeked through the clouds briefly, the duo cast long shadows, but at least the building was better illuminated, even though it was just briefly.
Wed Jan 31, 2018 12:07 pm
They wouldn't take long to arrive at the towns hall and she looked at it, glad that there weren't much lights on and she nodded about the idea though, "As if they suspect something and are hiding themselves." but that was a bit extreme, most likely Hargeon didn't expect anything and simply shut off the lights. She looked at the window that Victor quickly pointed out later and stared at it, "You would have to hoist me up." because with her 5'3 she wouldn't be able to get there. But that would mean something else: she was wearing skirt. If he could hoist her up, she could also open the front door or would he be able to jump up and get in? She looked at the building more but if there was another window open it was either on the same floor or higher and that would be an issue.
Wed Jan 31, 2018 1:51 pm
He grasped her hand gently, before nodding and saying 'So that's where we're heading then.' The duo slunk besides the tall bushes that lined the Town Hall, before squeezing through a small careless opening left in the shrubs, right under the open window. 'Ok, I'm going to need you to latch onto my back.' he said kneeling to make it easier for her. 'Also, probably a good idea to keep your face protected... Maybe in my neck.' he added the last bit only half joking in hopes that she would. To indicate the danger he spoke again 'Because... to climb the wall the back of my hands will basically eject some heat energy.' After explaining he waited for her to either follow his instructions and heed his advice or offer a better solution.

While he grabbed her hand, she simply followed, hearing the plan to indeed hold on to his back soon enough and she stared at him before simply shaking her head shortly and do what he said. But when he said something about heat, Persephone couldn't help but take a step back and her green eyes become bigger, fire. But this job was just for fun, the fire wasn't against her and she shook her head again and nodded not that he would see, she hoisted up her skirt till over her knees so it was easier and wrapped her arms around his shoulder clinging them together to hold a grip, she did hide her face in his neck, mostly because she was obviously afraid of fire, it felt very uncomfortable so close against him, her chest squeezed flat as well and the edge of the skirt cutting in her skin. They better be quick. So much for having fun.

'Ok, now that we're inside, we must find the stairs up, the map is on the second floor...' he said thinking out in soft whispers as he planned ahead. 'I think the stairs should be that way.' he added, pointing towards another location, before tiptoeing towards it slowly, his hand swaying by his sides to avoid hitting anything in the darkness. 'So dark in here, but we can't risk lighting anything up, it's going to attract too much attention.' he whispered, agitated, idly sharing his thoughts. He was someone who could be stealthy, or at least he'd assumed so, but apart from trying to stay out his mother's sights as a child... He hadn't had any practice in years.
Wed Jan 31, 2018 3:36 pm
But finally they were inside and she stepped there, falling to her knees with a soft plop and she pretend it was because it was a very annoying hold, since she had not want to poke him with her high heels. She redid her skirt by pulling it a little more down to over her knees. "You need to let your eyes adjust to the dark, than you see more. So close them and open them and do not look outside." she whispered, of course you won't see everything but outlines and that worked, so she pointed them towards the stairs with that trick, thank god they had carpet, else you would hear her heels everywhere. You still did but much more softer and she wasn't going to suggest Victor to carry her much more.
Wed Jan 31, 2018 4:11 pm
'Ok...' he whispered. 'I think after the next flight, there should be a door on our right...' Even his whispers echoed in the dark, which along with their gentle footfall, made for quite a lot of sound, that tore the quiet. He flinched, still annoyed with this whole stealthy thing. There was a window behind them, it cast a little light on the stairs, but not enough and he couldn't risk turning to look out, so he had to rely on his hands again. Reaching out behind him, his fingers looking for flesh, to confirm Phoebe's exact location and position behind him. It was a dangerous maneuver, he was likely to prod something... that he probably shouldn't. Maybe the dark would be a good excuse and justification in case he did.

She was looking at the stairs making sure she would step far enough on them to not fall behind because of gravity with these heels. She spotted a pale spot trying to reach out for her and if she wouldn't have stopped him! Her left hand crossed her chest for protection, her right hand held on to his now, "These stairs are horrible." she muttered as an excuse, he had not looked behind, he merely had needed to know if she was still around. They were at the door not much later and she opened it softy, she needed carpet so she could stand normal again, so she simply entered, her eyes looking through the dark but no one, "I think we need to be there." she pointed at the storage room with her left hand. She had let go of Victor his hand already in the mean time, before she had even opened the door, it was only to get rid of a possible disaster.

'Might need the twig fingers again...' he teased, softly. Now on the carpet again, his muscles could relax a little as he shuffled through the room. Then a creak and a bang made him freeze. It was the sound of a door opening and shutting underneath them. Someone turned the lights on too. From the faded hues and dispersion, that illuminated the room they were in slightly, it was safe to assume that the source was the ground floor, two floors below them. He held a finger to his lips, doubling his efforts to remain stealthy. At least they could see better. Â
There was a lot of guffaw and conversation that spiraled up the stairs, echoing off the walls. They had to be quick and quieter. He beckoned her forward as he tried the door to the storeroom, as he had expected... it was locked. He stood there, hands on his hips, idly tapping his feet as impatience gnawed at him. Something didn't feel right and he hated not being able to pinpoint it.
Sat Feb 03, 2018 3:23 pm
She opened the door and quickly pushed him in and closed it behind her, using the switch on the door to lock it back again, "Now quick let's find that map and get out of here." she whispered.

Victor would close his fingers around Phoebe's wrist as they would slip out of the closet. Then he'd go onto open the window of the second floor and offer to take his partner on his back again. His expression would be little more cautious this time, but confident enough in appearance to encourage Phoebe to trust him again. He'd offer his hands to aid her in getting a good grip on his torso, then would use his heat exuding Friction spell again. He'd duck out of the window and climb down. Making a bee-line for Raegan. Upon handing the man the map, the smuggler would haggle and Victor would threaten to destroy the map upon not being paid their dues. The man would sourly agree and offer the money to the pair. Once the man would leave, Victor would ceremoniously offer Phoebe a peck on her lips for another successful task completed together.

What if they came, what would they do? Say it was a drunk truth or dare? she felt the little drops of blood sticking against her fingers and she was glad that Victor had not picked her hand but her wrist as she quickly followed him to the window. She wasn't going to like it: did Persephone had to say it again, she hated fire. She would lift her skirt again a bit, so it was above her knees and she could climb and hold on to Victor. Making sure she wouldn't prick her heels in his sides. She burried her face in his shoulderblades again to ignore the fire as good as she could. She followed Victor with a quick step towards the shack again and talk to Raegan, crossing her arms in front of her chest as he was doing ridiculous of the payment, but in the end it worked and she waved him away, no longer wanting to see his face. She accepted the peck Victor offered, Persephone absolutely didn't mind. And Phoebe said nothing.
