Well, we'll have to go at a time that he's there. I'm all for a little finding-the-answers-on-our-own, but it would be a shame to get caught and gain little from it.
We don't want to cause any of the blood spilling ourselves, do we?
[ A snort. She'll likely never give him a run for his coin, and he should be grateful for that.
ALASTAIR's forces are, what? Fifty, sixty—maybe an optimistic seventy altogether? She remembers the pile of them arriving before Odette's gate. Some faces she hasn't seen in weeks, but that doesn't mean they aren't around. That's all talent and resources going to waste. ]
Twenty? No more, surely, but I want to map the grounds before I make any decision. We'll need people to get us in and out, people to handle the guards, and people to make the search. Riza has accepted to be my second.
[ A guesstimate, so to speak, and at least some reassurance that there's a second set of eyes on this folly. The palace is both immense and full of guards and they'll need more than five or ten people if they want to A) comb the place and B) make sure the people who are doing A don't get caught. The last thing they need is more jail time. ]
[ is he talking to her, or is he talking to himself? either way, he hasn't said no, and he doesn't sound like he can't use it. it's as he said before, there's always opportunity. ]
So, we have those who like to hit things in the face take the guards. That leaves a handful of us to get in and out of the palace. We'll have one chance, and that's it. Nadda. Nothing else. If this is blown—if a single person fails—we're back to the drawing board without the option of a little B&E.
Tell me you have something at least. A map? Sonar? Something.
[ She's noticed that he hasn't said no--he can feel free to notice she's not disagreeing with him. It's definitely a balls-to-the-wall kind of thing, but she's that kind of person. ]
There ways to distract without hitting--but yes, that is the plan.
[ As in, there basically is no plan. WE'RE ALL IN. #YOLO ]
Not...yet.
[ But she's working on it! ]
You are coming, are you not?
[ Look--she doesn't know Loki that well, but. She knows him enough to know his interest is probably genuine. ]

Where else to find power but in a place of power? I will seek an audience with Odette's king.
I am tired of waiting for answers that do not come. Every day we wait, more blood is spilled.

[ Of course, there's the risk that he'll be out, and wouldn't that be interesting. ]
That ship has long since sailed, I am afraid. But you are not alone in being invited on this expedition, if that was your concern.
[ Don't feel too special...you're not the only one here who can be 2sneaky, and Kida's not going to let ALASTAIR's resources go to waste. ]
no subject
[ look, Kida, he wouldn't put that past you. ]

Well, we are not keeping the castle afterwards.
[ So, you know. Raid is sort of applicable.... ]

[ he has some pretty deep pockets. ]
How many people is "not alone"?

Well, you'll do it with or without me, and I am so vulnerable to peer pressure.
Count me in.
