Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

"This is grain, it's even being inspected. I feel confident this isn't the one we're looking for," Val says.

Baeleth returns to the group from his little stroll, a smile on his lips, shortly after Valerie returns. “There are spices as well, I noticed some zhaava, which is from the forest near my home...ah, what I could do with some of that and a few other ingredients,” he says wistfully. “Hmm, is there any way we could see the manifest from the ship, Valerie? You know, just to see where the ship supposedly picked up its cargo,” Baeleth asks, subconsciously fiddling with the silver bracelet around his left wrist.

"I'm sure we might be able to talk someone into it," Val says. "It seems like a few different food stuffs, not all the boxes are the same weight or size."

“Good, good...best to check while we have the chance to look at all aspects of their business,” Baeleth remarks softly, still handling the bracelet, though less anxiously than before.

Val heads off to see if she can get some manifest lists of what's heading in and out from that warehouse.

(OOC: She is heading into the warehouse, to the ship, or to find the business offices of the warehouse's owner?)

Business offices.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Val first has to ask around to find the business offices, but eventually she figures out where to go and heads there (possibly with the others unless she wants to leave them all there for quite a bit). There is a lean bespectacled clerk sitting behind a desk who asks:*

"May I help you?"

“So ladies, shall we follow Valerie, or take another wander around the warehouses and see what we can see?” Baeleth asks the others as Valerie heads off, he assumes, to locate the manifest.

Rhaka settles down to the ground while Baeleth and Val go about their activity. After Baeleth returns and addresses them she replies, "Well, it seems like Val has things under control and doesn't seem terribly interested in our help. So I'm in favor of waiting until she returns. If you'd care to do anything between then and now, I'm game."

Reaching out, Baeleth places his hand on Verra’s shoulder and gives her a little shake. “How about you Verra...up for another walk amongst the warehouses?”

[SBLOCK=OOC]I’m still waiting to find out whether the spice crate was being inspected along with the others (I asked a few posts back).[/SBLOCK]
