“My clever Athena.” Hei whispered with admiration, digging into her own pockets. For someone who was meant to be behaving, she’d picked up a few knick-knacks that didn’t belong to her. She had, however, restrained herself, so there wasn’t as much as there’d normally be.
Lifting her loot out of her pocket, she tossed one piece in front of Geum, who stopped her escape to chase after that, and then tossed another, and another, banking on the fact Geum couldn’t ignore sparkly things. With each piece, the niffler was coming closer and closer to them, the lithe pirate ready to pounce as soon as she was sure Geum wouldn’t escape.
Lavinia smiled a little at the praise, always happy to have Hei’s approval. For now, she resisted going into too much detail about where Hei’s little shinies had come from, simply saying. “I just hope their owners don’t realize who was around when their things go missing.” They still had their cover to be concerned about. But the niffler was more important at the moment.
Lavinia cooed at the little niffler as it got closer. “That’s it Guem. Come on and get your little treats. We’ve got more on the ship we can give you, just come on home with us.” She made eye contact with Hei as the niffler came into grabbing distance, as if signaling that now was the time.
