"If not from the children, where do you think we might find the necessary evidence?" Daos asks.

"Maybe his office or room," Caelynn suggests.

"How do we gain access to it?" Daos asks.

"Short of sneaking in there in the middle of the night, I'm not sure," Caelynn says. "It is possible that a few of the older children there will remember me, and they might be able to gain access to that stuff when Simon isn't around."

"Let's try for the kids for now. But if that doesn't work, I have a spell that can render you invisible so you can break in. I don't have it prepared today, however," Daos says.

"Alright, I can try to make contact with some of the kids. They usually have places that they are assigned to "earn" their money," Caelynn says.

Daos nods. "Lead on then."

Caelynn leads the party through the streets of Cryfopolis, checking many of the old spots where she was assigned to "jobs." In the part of the market where jewelry is sold, she spots an urchin, around 11 years old, skulking by an alley. She seems to have her eye on a young man leaving one of the shops, a valuable silver watch hanging loosely from his belt.

Daos stays back, letting Caelynn handle this for now.

Caelynn has everyone hold back as she casually comes up behind the little girl quietly. She knew what the girl was after, but she knew that there was a good chance that she would get caught too. "There you are," she says loudly as she places her hand upon the girl's shoulder. She wasn't being threatening, but she wasn't going to let her get away either. "I've been looking everywhere for you. I'm getting hungry, and I'm sure you are too, so let's go eat," she says cheerfully as she tries to lead the girl away from her spot. She leans down a bit to whisper in her ear. "Don't worry. You aren't going to be hurt, and you won't get in trouble with Simon for not bringing anything back," she assures her.

The girl immediately pulls away and shouts, "Stranger danger!" After kicking Caelynn in the shins, she adds, "Watch out! I know how to do a neck snap!" Luckily for her, none of the upper class consumers seem to notice or care. Meine, on the other hand, snickers at the altercation.

Daos keeps where he is, letting Caelynn handle it for now, but he's ready to step in if needed. He frowns a bit over the fact that nobody seems to care. What if she was trying to hurt the kid?

"Ow," Caelynn says after the girl kicks her. "I use to live in the same orphanage as you," she says quickly.

"Oh, really? Then what's the password?" the girl demands. Caelynn has no recollection of any passwords.

"There isn't a password," Caelynn says with a shake of her head.
