Private Finished The First Steps

Adryan handed the paper with the details back to him. He had the details memorised and the less physical evidence he had on him the better. Details like this was the biggest bit that kept him in business. No loose ends because the only loose end was who hired him.

Adryan continued to pace listening intently. A hand came to his chin and rubbed it. The details of druidic runes varied widely. None of them should prevent him from getting in in one form or another but notifying its occupants someone was there could be an issue.

"Personal agenda more than likely means they'll have to be home. Those tend to stay with their owner. And don't tell me she wears this amulet regularly? Or is it something stored away?"

None of it would be an issue. Things just had a cost based on risk.

"Then that's easy enough."

Adryan spoke very matter-of-factly as he was given the details. It honestly seemed straight forward with nothing to difficulty. The hardest part would be probing the wards for what they did and actually finding the items.

"Do you have a date that you absolutely must have the items by?"

Adryan raised an eyebrow to the man. He had already chosen to disregard the fumbling of words, but these items seemed rather mundane for someone of Adryan's skill. There had to be something else going on. But it wasn't a thief's job to worry about that. "Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong and it won't get dirty...or broken."

A week. For what seemed to be a simple straight forward one, Adryan figured he could have the items before that. Getting jobs done early, unless they had to happen at a certain time, always went over well.

"I'll have it done in that time. Do you want it delivered somewhere particular or just wherever I feel safe handing it off?"

Payment was the other issue. This was the hardest thing for Adryan to deal with. Bank accounts meant he could be tracked. Paper currency was tricky when using and converting. His prefered method was precious stones and metals, even artifacts.

"I'd prefer certified gold or gems. Appraised artwork or artifacts are also acceptable. You know... harder to track than a bank account."

Adryan gave the man a wink and a slight smile. Business always helped him loosen up to a new associate.

The series of numbers given was committed to memory as well. None of his associates was were in his phone, liability and all that. Adryan was as much concerned for the safety of his clients as he was for himself. People that get caught tend to talk. People that talk...well they were bad for business.

It seemed Mathos was debating on how he wanted to pay Adryan. He was about done with this conversation. He had some work to do and if Mathos really wanted the items as soon as he made it seem, he needed to get busy.

"How you pay me is up to you. Certified gold, certified gems, appraised art, or appraised artifacts. If you can prove to me the value from an outside source I'll likely take it."

After detailing out how he liked to be paid again, Adryan gave him the cost. It was high, but considering the quality, care, and his reputation, it was a fair price as well.

"Keep in mind, if I run into more issues that what we've discussed, the price will go up."
