--Find the Apple. Or rather, I think I know where it is; I just need to retrieve it.

- What a funny coincidence, because I need to find my bird.
Rotterdam hesitated, then said:
- I'll help you if you want. Animals don't hate me, and I know the city.
"Do I even need this?"

--Coincidences are a common occurrence for me. May I ask what your bird's name is? And regarding your offer of help, I suppose I won't refuse. To be more precise, I will gladly accept it, but you understand what the consequences might be for you? It's still unclear when I'll be able to defend my honor, and for now, since I'm an outlaw, dealing with me is dangerous.

- I didn't come up with a name for her. I just called her "bird." Or rather, I didn't call her anything at all; I always addressed her directly. It's a raven.
- I wouldn't want to reveal all my motives to you, Fox, but rest assured that I will handle it.
"I know them well enough."

--I'm worried about you. But who knows, maybe my luck will extend to you, and everything will be alright? -- Flame Fox stood up, took a green cloak and a top hat out of his bag, and put them on. --Something tells me that I've been sitting here for too long, and it's better to leave this place in an unconventional way, -- he nodded towards the window. --Don't worry, I checked, there's something to grab onto. Besides, someone is drying laundry there, so the ropes should be strong.

"I'm a little scared,"
- I hope it spreads, - Rotterdam stared at the halfling. - And you're quite the comedian. Jumping out of a window in broad daylight wearing Flamel Fox's clothes. I'm not sure I could handle such a stunt.
Rotterdam looked out the window to see what was happening.

There was an uneven wall, with some bricks protruding – a kind of decorative element. There were indeed clotheslines, although they looked rather rotten.
“You see, if I don’t wear bright clothes when dealing with the gendarmes, they’ll start recognizing me even without them,” Fox replied ironically.

Rotterdam shook his head. "N-no, I don't think such a descent is a good idea for me. I'll go the usual way, go around the building, and come here. Otherwise, they might mistake me for an accomplice..." he quickly added.

– Well, that makes sense, – said Flame Fox, and jumped out the window.

Rotterdam is out.

As he was descending the stairs, he encountered three gendarmes. "Excuse me, sir, have you seen a ginger halfling around here?"

- Hmm. Short, with red hair? I saw him half an hour ago in the corridor; he greeted me and said he was going to the library. He seemed very agitated about something.

--Quickly, to the library, quickly!
The gendarmes immediately poured out of the tavern.

Rotterdam, whistling, walked out of the building and headed to the designated location. "Ha-ha! And they actually hire such simpletons!"

He saw Flame Fox there, standing in the shadow of the building. --Look, isn't that your bird over there? On the opposite side of the street was that very raven, and it had a broken wing.
