"Well damn... three out of four isn't bad" CC sighs once they are safe "Not like the bags had a personal connection"

William paces, on edge, watching the windows.

"It was a successful raid, I think."

"Yes, I don't we'll get trailed. Whew, still close though" Clearly she's excited "Now what ARE the prizes?"

"Do -not- examine this one." He takes the gorgon and ties the bag off, sealing it and setting it away.

And then tells her why.

"Oohhoo... NICELY Played." Perhaps praisigg Leech "Probably would lose it's power after a few stonings, but a few is enough mmm?" She opens up anotherr

And hands back her compact.

And she takes the compact smoothly

"Indeed." He looks at what she's unwrapping.

"Looks like a snuff box, very fany, but not my vice"

"Dearest, would you reveal all our prizes? Just now."

"Hmm? " She opens the other, revealingg the lantern "or did you want me to Vanna white it?" She makes slow easy gestures

"No. Just... damn." He sees what is not there, and nods. "Nevermind. What -do- we have?"

"Yes.... let's not open that snuff box just yet."

"Nor.... nor just yet light that lantern."

"So we stare really hard? What's the object that's missing?"

"There was a book."

"I think the raven got it.....what -was- that?"

"I think the Raven was Baron Kealan ap Scathach, the Count's Spymaster. "

The boggan blinks at her for just a moment. "Dearest....."

"I don't know how he got tipped off .. unless he wawsnn'tt after us, but the bolt hole and got a clue after we did?"

A sour expression; "Their Lord and Master knows and is on the hunt."

"As long as they are not hunting US"

"mmmmm... yes."

"Still intriguing"

"Dearest, why do you think that lordling lacky of the count's was over our business, and took our prize?"

"Because he knows about the bolt holes I suspect.. Rivervale has been attacked, well, i's people have... so security patrols might be up. I jus thought it would be IN Rivervale only. Damn

"

"We know Leech has a wider net. Damn!!!"

"Apparenntly so do they" A sigh

"Is that troll kin so besotted of the sidhe she can't speak?"

"Sally Mae?? Oh major crush on this Liam guy"
