Scipio is a professional, a mastermind, a criminal with great vision and style. But Scipio is also a follower, especially when his own skin is on the line. If there is a man with a decisive plan (usually Rafael), a man with a path in mind, then Scipio will follow.
In this case, the man with the plan is actually a young dwarven maid, who is very quick, despite her short stature, and whose path is a quick duck out of the path of their pursuer. Very clever, Kitty.
The decisive resolve with which she directs him is not the tone that she always puts on. There is steel under her smiles, steel that he has heard in her before she remembered to correct herself; steel that he saw in the narrow look she gave him when first they met in the tavern. Perhaps this duplicity should inspire distrust, but it is not so, for Scipio. Here, and he follows. There, and he's already starting toward the alcove, but stops about halfway.
"And you?"
And the package. The one she's still holding. They have mere moments. He holds out his hands, expectantly.
like a Hello Kitty hairclip, she is the cutest accessory
