((I guess I'm stuck doing that anyway, was hoping someone would run into my character at some point. Tybalt almost did but turned back.

In the middle of the night, creaking of the shack door startled the bear awake. He turned to face the silhouette in the doorway.
"Oh, did I wake you?" the silhouette spoke with a quiet feminine voice around middle aged. Exactly like his client.
"Hazel?" Geoff sniffed and sat himself up. "Heh, caught me napping. Was gonna head to ya..."
"No worries. You did the job. Saw your work outside. I'd prefer her burned to ashes myself, but that wasn't part of the deal, was it?" She chuckled.
"Oh. Guess I could have done that, but that might alert people... Oh, right."
Geoff shuffled through his pack and pulled out a small metal container with the emerald necklace and twelve feathers.
Hazel took the container and examined the necklace.
"It's the real deal, right?" Geoff asked. "Not a decoy?"
Hazel rubbed the emerald, and it began to glow. "Must be it! Perfect. Thanks, Ghost."
