"20 percent? Ha! We take all the risk and you get all the gain?" She said. "You want use to slide you a vaults worth of Finns for a handful back?"

 

[RedCoat]

Slackjaw shook his head "You're only going in to check the place out. It's my men who'll loot it. But fine. I guess we have no deal. If you ever change your mind, you know where I am." He dismissed her with a wave, turning to walk away.

 

[Knight_of_None]

She narrowed her eyes and turned to walk out from the door slowly,, heading back to the gates.

 

[RedCoat]

When she arrived, she'd find Lazuli, standing slightly apart from the guards, without so much as a smudge on her.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron walked up to her sister, grabbing her chin and inspecting her a moment. "We're done here Lazuli." She said letting go of her

 

[RedCoat]

Lazuli blinked as Marron grabbed her chin, her head tilting up slightly before she nodded to Marrons words "Okay Marr. Where too?"

 

[Knight_of_None]

"We're going shopping" she said as sge walked away from the gate. Slackjacks little idea wasn't bad. But why settle for 20 percent of the cut when she could go for 100 percent.

 

[RedCoat]

"Shopping?" Lazuli asked as she followed along, not getting the subtext, due to the fact she'd not been involved in the conversation with Slackjaw, but knowing that Marron was still carrying a large quantity of Finns in the satchel.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Yes, Shopping. We need to look the part, and the part is....bold." She said as she patted her sister on the back. "It's been quite a long time...we will need to use a new surname, but I will make you proper."

 

[RedCoat]

"O-oh. Okay, Marron." Lazuli replied, still not entirely sure what her sister was talking about, but then again, did she need too? They were always going to work together, so being confused or uncertain didn't matter. What mattered was making sure she was always there for Marron, as she knew Marron would always be for her.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron took her to a boutique, a lower end one, higher in the rungs of Dunwall. Higher than their shack, but up underneath the middling classes. It was a start. Marron tied to lighten herself, loosening her tension to be...less of a visible threat than sge was.

 

[RedCoat]

Lazuli blinked in surprise at the choice of store Marron had chosen, glancing to her sister as if asking 'are you sure?' when they started to walk in, even as she realised just how much of an effort Marron was making from the way she tried to detense her body.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"We can't fake this quality." She said aa she walked onto the shop, the dresses on display not as nice as the ones she once owned as a girl but....she still could tell the level of difference. One step up the ladder. Classier. She walked around the store, examining the fabrics.

 

[RedCoat]

Lazuli followed along, seeing the price tags and biting her lip, even as one of the shop staff walked across "Well, hello ladies. What brings you in here today?" He asked, even as Marron would catch the slight sneer in his tone, as if he didn't believe they had the money for the clothes.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron controlled her urge to punch the man in the throat for the sneer she perceived...her posture shifting her shoulders loosening, her hands leaving her pockets. "We're looking for dresses, just two, there is a party coming for a friend of mine. I want to impress them." She said as she folded her hands.

 

[RedCoat]

"I see. Two dresses, one for each of you? Well, our less expensive options are in this area of the store, if you'll follow me?" He replied, turning his back on them even as Lazuli bit her lip and reached a hand out to Marrons elbow, nervous about what was going to happen if the clerk kept being... himself.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron smiled as he spoke, the minute his back was turned her eyes dropping to his tie, but before she could strangle him with it....Lazuli touched her arm. She took a deep breath. "Sir, we aren't just here for yiur bottom shelf options. If this is your best work, perhaps we can find someone else to help us."

 

[RedCoat]

The Clerk turned back, giving a huff "Well if you are going to be like that, perhaps you should find someone else." He retorted, even as Lazuli whispered "He's not worth it... let's just go..."

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron brushed her sister off her, stepping up into his space. "How am i being?" She said daringly

 

[RedCoat]

The Clerk blinked in surprise as Marron stepped up to him, stuttering a little before speaking "Well I mean, you are being quite rude Madam. If you do not like the service or the goods on offer you are perfectly free to leave" he replied nervously, even as Lazuli bit her lip and tugged Marrons sleeve "Please don't..." She murmured.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron almost seemed taken aback as hr rebuffed her with the word Rude. Then again. Nowadays she was used to being called far worse but Rude..."You are the one that's rude sir. You think that we can't pay you? Is that it? " She said as she stepped further, pushing her finger under his chin. "I'm not insulting your effort. I'm insulting your preconceptions. I do not need your low expense option, my friends won't see beyond the dress. We are going to be the key factor."

 

[RedCoat]

Something in the way Marron moved and spoke triggered a reaction in the clerk, who immediately began to apologise "I... Oh my word, I am so sorry madam, I misunderstood entirely. Please, take your time looking around, I will be here the very moment you require me" He bowed low, his face a mask of Shame as Lazuli blinked in surprise, at both his reaction and how well Marron had handled herself. She'd been expecting a fight, not... whatever this was.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron turned around to her sister, her hands brushing down her coat with a puff from her nose, walking away from the clerk as she started walking the store floor. Marron for once not jumping to bashing someone's face in...but thatbwas because she didn't always have to do so. She didn't even threaten him, or flash her gun,. A simple, elite, scolding.

 

[RedCoat]

Lazuli followed Marron closely, looking at the variety of dresses on show, but unwilling to reach out and touch one, something in her mind basically saying "No, let your sister decide. She's better at this kind of thing..."

 

[Knight_of_None]

She pulled out a green dress, then looked to her sister, her fingers finding a golden dress. The former was softer in its shape, something that would be more personable. Short with a fine petticoat to fill its skirt and be comfortable. The golden was blistering, eye catching, though not merely in a sexual way. It was bright, its cuts more angular, with reds and hues. A corset inside its bodice...not that Marron required much help. Hunger kept her thin.

 

[RedCoat]

Lazuli watched Marron pulling out the two dresses, guessing that the small, softer green one was for her, even as she gave a soft gasp at the way the golden one shimmered, reaching out towards it slowly. The Clerk, seeing the pair had found dresses reappeared, a smile on his face this time "Ah, so you have chosen your dresses, Madam? We have a fitting room, where we can make adjustments as required, to give you the best possible fit."

 

[Knight_of_None]

Marron put the green dress in Lazuli's hands. "This one is better for your needs." She said as she turned to walk to the fitting room. "Very good. Oh. Do you have any wine here as well?" She said

 

[RedCoat]

Lazuli took it, nodding to her sister even as she followed quietly behind the pair, the Clerk walking quickly to keep pace with Marron "We do indeed Madam. I shall fetch the bottles once you are both seen too by our fitters." He replied, still almost bowing as he walked, clearly trying to make up for the way he'd acted as they first entered.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Excellent." She said without even looking at him, nor acknowledging his bow. "See it done." She said as they moved into the fitting rooms.

 

[RedCoat]

Within the fitting rooms, there were a number of older women, two of whom immediately approached, one taking Marron and the other moving Lazuli away to their own little private areas, helping them to both undress and redress into their new clothes, the one with Marron immediately beginning to tighten it around her, to compensate for how thin she was, whilst Lazuli's was being shifted so the skirt did not drag along the floor, her body filling the fabric slightly better from Marron not letting her go hungry as much.
