"To be frank? I do not believe Ms. Henbane has it in her to set up an elaborate trap," Bianca responded in a hushed tone. "It is not out of the question that she is being manipulated, but even then - I highly doubt that this is not something that I..."
Thomas glanced down at the white-haired woman, watching her for a moment that turned into several while she watched Thyra directing the Marines to cuff the hitmen. When it became clear that she'd trailed off with no sign of picking back up, he coughed, and then leaned forward a little. "Uh, Bi? What was that?""What was what?"
The lanky man started to respond to that, but stopped himself by gently biting his tongue and clenching his fist. "Yeah, uh, never mind, I'm sure it wasn't anything important."How sneaky are your plant things? Can they... pick locks?"
"I can most certainly make us an entrance," Bianca responded, arms folded over her chest.
That answer earned her an exasperated, panicky look from Thomas standing just behind her. "Okay, that was not an answer to the question that was asked, Bi, don't pretend like it's-" His quiet plea was cut off by Thyra asking him a question, which made the coward blanch. "Whoa, hang on, what? I don't even know what we're doing here! C'mon, Bi, let me hang back for this one- Bianca?"
When his eyes hit the point where his boss's hat-adorned head had been and met with nothing but open air, he glanced wildly about for wherever it was that she'd gone - only to catch sight of the Tea Company President confidently striding toward the front door of the Rusty Can, somehow having already dropped silently to the street level and made it most of the way there, on a collision course with the group of gangsters making their way there at the same time. Thomas placed his hand over his face and audibly groaned into it. "Oh no.""Good afternoon, gentlemen. Tell me, where can I find 'Little Napster'? I am afraid I have urgent business with him."
