Acension Revival

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe placed the money on the counter. "Yeah, that's interesting," she said, taking the dye bottles. "Have you ever considered just... going back and working for him, perhaps?"

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce shook his head. "I will NEVER work under him again." He pulled the knife from the counter, and put it away. "He has no idea what he's doing."

[Cifero Windtail]

Jayce shook his head. "I will NEVER work under him again." He pulled the knife from the counter, and put it away. "He has no idea what he's doing."

Zanthe cocked an eyebrow nonchalantly. "How so?"

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce looked at Zanthe, with a touch of anger and concern. "Did you give him your real name?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe shrugged. "No," she said. "Frankly, I'm not sure who to trust in this situation, but the thing is, your brother trusts you." The catfox looked at Jayce. "So tell me what's going on, alright?"

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce seemed relieved, more or less. "Good. Don't ever, EVER, give that man your name, or anything he can pin on you. He's not all that he seems." He then sighed. "I used to help Maurice with trafficking, of all sorts. You name it, we move it. He owes me hush money, but I'm not one to run to the cops quite yet. Not until I can get away with it."

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe nodded. "Right... Well," she said. "Maybe you should check me for bugs."

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce nodded. "Alright, come here. Did he cut your hair?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe nodded and just walked closer, offering her head to Jayce. Not that he'd have heard anything anyway... I have something for bugs.

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce poked around in Zanthe's hair, and after a few moments withdrew a small mechanical device, and crushed it between his fingers. "There, bug free."

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe nodded once. "Right. So why'd you leave him for real?"

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce sighed. "I told you, we moved all kinds of stuff throughout this city, and the ones nearby. Maurice kept killing potential inventory, and I did my best to keep quiet. He owes me hush-money, and I plan on collecting."

[Cifero Windtail]

Zanthe shrugged. "Alright... so it's like that," she said, cocking an eyebrow. "Well, I'll go back there once my hair is long again, alright?" The catfox shrugged. "I have measures against bugs."

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce shrugged. "Be my guest. I still need my money, and I've no intention of getting it myself, he'd shoot me on the spot like the coward he is." He sighed heavily, and sat in a nearby armchair, massaging his temples. "I should just kill him. Get rid of this awful headache."

[Cifero Windtail]

Jayce shrugged. "Be my guest. I still need my money, and I've no intention of getting it myself, he'd shoot me on the spot like the coward he is." He sighed heavily, and sat in a nearby armchair, massaging his temples. "I should just kill him. Get rid of this awful headache."

Zanthe raised an eyebrow. I wonder how much he knows about the Zambian, if anything. "... I doubt your brother would appreciate you landing in jail," she said. "Especially after... well, I shouldn't say."
