Deciding to be quiet and sneaky about it, they do well enough until Owen has to check. Loudly asking Gryffth if he's moving quietly enough, it seems to make the others more alert, but they don't seem to notice the trailers. Shadowing the pair through the city streets, they take an innocuous shortcut through an alley, and when Owen and Gryffth peek around the corner, they notice that the pair is nowhere to be seen, with no time to make it through to the other end of the alley. They spend some time looking around, eventually finding a chalked symbol of a harlequin mask. Gryffth gave a wry chuckle. "I see we were right to follow.""Or were you wrong?" A female voice came from above them.Gryffth immediately looked up, but sees nothing, and calls out. "Jil, is that you?""Ah, so you've heard of me, lamb? We've heard of you too, asking after us. You really shouldn't do that though..."Gryffth thought he had her location pinned down from her talking, but still couldn't see her. "We don't have to be enemies. Why were you attacking the cleric?" The only response he got was from the figure dropping suddenly right behind them, hanging briefly on a whip before dropping into a crouch. The figure is so completely covered, however, that making out any distinguishing features proves impossible.Jil looked at the pair in front of her. "You can fight, dearie. You can track. Can you steal?"Gryffth was only slightly confused, but played along. "Why would I want to? All the world is my oyster. I have riches worth far more than gold." He was a little shocked when Jil indicated that she was talking to Owen instead. "Wasn't talking to you, lamb. Was talking to this other one."Owen was truly confused. He didn't know where she was figuring this out, but still. "Apparently I can't track enough...I can steal, though, but it depends on what I'm stealing and why. What did you have in mind? Oh, and by the way, thanks for the love letter." Gryffth backed this up with a "I'm the one that did the tracking, Lamb."Jil was now seemingly ignoring Gryffth. "Oh, but you can, dearie. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to steal those two away. And I was just checking. Perhaps we may be interested in you in the future. Have a good day, pets." She tumbled away, vanishing into the city streets. Watching her go, the pair turned to investigating the harlequin mask. They spent nearly half an hour, but try as they might, they couldn't find the secrets that they knew were hidden there. This was when Gryffth suggested returning with the others.</blockquote>
