Fortunately, the suspicious man wasn't a furry.
"Oh, you really expect me to answer your questions?" – the true spy jokingly wagged two long and very sharp daggers at Aristarkh. "I am a mysterious shadow, watching every living creature in the settlement of experts. I see and hear everything. My services are expensive, but impeccable."
It was difficult to determine the clan affiliation of the murky man by his appearance, but he definitely didn't look like an expert.
Option 1: You are an alchemist from the laboratory. Doesn't seem likely...
Option 2: You are a professional burglar. Possible...
Option 3: You are just a swindler who decided to rip off some sucker..." - these thoughts ran through Aristarkh's head.
- Heh... The chief alchemist's papers are indeed interesting to me... Impeccable, you say? I need not only to obtain the papers, but also to return them later to their place so that no one suspects anything. But how will you understand what exactly is needed? Can you read? Or will you bring everything indiscriminately?
