“Y’know, we - all - could go through there. Those other kids will most probably bow out — that is all very fine. We talk to the kid, get your poster back, and go from there. The way I see it, “Galpet” and that blond-hair kid do not seem so fast with those friends; we… give them some rewards, they’ll lead us to the three.” Thon gives his piece while leisurely keeping his back to the waning sunlight.
“I- I really don’t wish to chance that. Equally as likely is those kids backing up on us after we talked to him. Or on him. Or on those two. I’d rather have it settled tonight — I’ll see them. You all could keep watch and give me a sign.” Aeg gives his own (legally-adjacent) proposal.
While Airin somewhat agrees with Thon’s proposal - the plausible deniability aspect of it, in particular - having decent standing, in both court and in terms of personal safety compared to waylaying them, she adds another point. “Those other kids, they don’t seem to be the sort to frequent the temples - but that yellow-haired kid and Galpet’s colleague - we could ask around, find a few things about them.” And stalk them, if need be, although that part is left unsaid.
Mhm. The plays we could make…
Thon’s idea does keep me - and pretty much all of us - from legal difficulty, if we are smart about it. We just need to be more watchful for the next few weeks. We just need to keep our guard up while quietly settling the entire matter out of court, ideally.
Aeg’s idea would be the most immediate, and the yield, the greatest. Everyone else would be in relative safety while Aeg gets what he wants. I’m sure he can walk the same road that low company does - and go much further than them. He should be all right.
Of course, we could just not play that game in the first place. Instead of acting directly, we could - as Airin suggests - continue to gather information from elsewhere. As for the robbery itself, an anonymous tip to the peace officers should void their plan. If we can get more information on Galpet’s friend and the yellow-haired kid, we’ll get to those three eventually.
We decided to go with…
>Thon’s proposal - All four of us take a walk through Screwpine Canal Road
>Aeg’s proposal - Aeg will waylay the kids, everyone else act as lookouts
>Airin’s proposal - Find out more about those kids through the temples’ inhabitants
Addendums / adjustments write-in to these plans are welcome.
