Vasilia was clearly enjoying it, and Kamille would be lying if she said she wasn't. It was new and exciting - she had played that game before, but never in such situation, hiding her identity and with such higher stakes. She posed by Vasilia's side, putting a hand in her waist. The both seemed comfortable in their own skin, enough to go with this mission smoothly, she thought.
"Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh."
Kamille ajusted Vasilia's frill to conceal her dagger better.
"I've always had clients that were ladies of the night... Once, I got to meet this very successful one. She told me it's not hard, per se... To fall in love with someone, for one night, is simple enough. But to make them remember you for a lifetime after... That takes a little bit more."
There was a subtle knock on the door. Kamille put on her mask, adjusting it so it wouldn't ruin her hair.
"Our carriage must have arrived. Let's go."

Vasilia listened to Kamille speak and her words were true. She wondered who these ladies of the night were...and who Kamille might secretly love. Who was her romance? Who did she desire? Now it appeared there carriage was ready. Vasilia pulled her mask down too. It was a finely decorated mask in the colour red and took on the shape of a red dragon. Her black hair flowed out the back.
“Off to our clients” said Vasilia in a bemused way, followed by a giggle.
Together they silently made there way out and into the carriage. Both sat at either side. Vasilia took a comfortable position and crossed her legs as the carriage moved off.
“Now don't worry about the talking Kamille...leave that to me. I have already made acquaintance at the Pit. I will make charming conversation with the doorman and get us in via the front. We will then make our way through the place till we get to “Copper”. Whilst I was there last I achieved a certain level of...familiarity...he should trust me enough to let you in and then we can get drinks and drug him. Now downstairs where the tunnel is I have already seen with “Copper”. The guards will not be suspicious if we take him down there and dissapear.” explained Vasilia to Kamille. She hadn't told Kamille beforehand she was going to go like this and do some prior “dirty work”. However one of them had to and she was the only one who was not known. Vasilia waited for Kamille's response. She hoped she would be pleased, rather than mad.

Kamille followed Vasilia to the carriage, the sound of their heels right behind them. The Witch didn't look nervous, but she did look thoughtful, a slight frown visible behind the mask. If anything went wrong, there were always ways to get out and preserve their lives, but she really wanted all of this to work out according to plan.
She paid attention to Vasilia's plan while fluffing up her pelts.
"Poe is placed as a barmaid, so she can get us the drinks we need. Edgar and Allan are already inside, but with a very low profile. They will always be around to take care of unwanted eyes, should we need."
Kamille didn't look surprised to know Vasilia had been collecting more information around - after all, if she placed her own minions inside the place for it beforehand, they probably brought up that information to her. Kamille always spoke of three people under her command, but Vasilia so far only knew of the two man - the woman never showed herself to her partner in this endeavor.
"Always assume they will be around. They tried to close off the tunnel as far as I was told, but I can use my magic to open it or make another way of entering. Since it's closed off, no one will suspect we're using it. My name will be Pearl. What will be yours again?"

Vasilia gave the top of the carriage a knock with her gloved fist and the large wooden wheels rolled on down the road down to the Pit. It wouldn't take them too long to get there, but it was a bit of rickety ride. She looked at the nice pelts on Kamille's shoulders as she spoke about her entourage. It was quite a little team she had and made their mission much easier to have so many eyes. Vasilia was naturally mistrustful of large groups working together, it only took one bad mole to break a plan.
The addition of another woman in her gang was news to Vasilia who now wondered how much they had seen of her in the Pit. Vas wondered what kind of seedy, seductive and promiscuous behavior those spies might have witnessed by herself. She had tried to keep it all behind closed doors, but no doubt she would have been spotted. She cleared her throat feeling a feeling of heat rising. If they knew, it was likely Kamille knew too.
A few other things raced through her head, like the small talk she had made with some smugglers on the side about the bandits trade of stolen property in Luna Inlet...but those were very quiet discussions...that was something for the future. Regardless, Vas hoped Kamille didn't think less of her, what she did, she did for the best chance at the mission. Having made contact already helped them gain entry more easily. No bodyguard would let unknown women, even beautiful ones, near a main target of potential villains...but now, they trusted her, they knew her.
“I like that name, Pearl is very you...they already know me now there as Sapphire...quite a combination don't you think? Pearl & Sapphire” she said musing on their choice of names. Now inside the carriage and feeling a bit more hidden Vas raised her mask up so she could look at Kamille more easily. She couldn't help but noticed a slight frown under her mask.
“Don't worry, we have set this up to have every advantage...we will get in, retrieve the target and then get our information...besides we'll look more natural if we look like we're having fun....remember we're high class courtesans coming down here for the dangerous and the unknown” she said trying to perk up Kamille to the exciting side of the mission.
“If things go wrong, we'll adapt to the situation as it happens...regardless we'll be successful” she said with pure confidence and maybe a little arrogance. Vas hated to fail any mission, her reputation was build on her success.

If Kamille knew something, she either didn’t judge.... or she was pretending not to know, and both of them were valid options. It was safe to assume that, at most times, Kamille knew more than she let on. When Vasilia commented on how their names matched and how she was known as Sapphire, the Witch merely flashed a small, knowing smile, with not an ounce of surprise.
There was much more to it than she let on.
The ride there was calm and without further issues, shorter than expected. The raven Mischief was nowhere to be seen, since Kamille thougth he would be much of a tell around her. In what seemed like no time at all, thw carriage stopped.
"Okay.... showtime."
Kamille adjusted the mask, the pelts and stepped outside first, offering a hand for her partner to get down the stairs. Once they were both out of the carriage, Kamille interlaced her arm with Vasilia's, like two close friends could be assumed to do.
Whenever you need to say something just for me, give me a sign and I can make this happen.
Vasilia heard Kamille's voice in her head, clearly a spell that allowed them to communicate without others knowing. Only thing was that Kamille had to make the connection on her end first, and then Vasilia could answer.

Vasilia didn't get much reaction from the witch whilst she spoke, only a minor and small smile. It seemed it was highly likely Kamille knew a lot that was going on. Vas knew she would have to be more cautious going forward with her or else things might unravel in unexpected ways.
As the carriage stopped Kamille got out and offer her hand to Vas to join her. They were interlocked like the lace patterns they wore. They made there way forward away from the carriage. At this point Vas heard the voice in her head of Kamille and her brain lit up with excitement. That was a fine power to have. She would have to try that.
At this point Vas's hand became outstretched and she made a little sign with her thumb and forefinger which tapped together twice. That would be her sign. It required no conversation because the conversation had already taken place out of earshot inside in mind.
I will do the talking now to get us inside -
The two ladies elegantly walked towards the entrance and Vas lifted her mask to make eye contact with the large doorman. He was a wide ogre sizes bouncer much taller than either of them and couldn't help look down at the two women in charmed fashion. They were both dazzling and he and his colleague admired them eagerly.
“You brought a friend this time eh...Sapphire?” said the large bouncer as he searched her with his eyes.
“Well last time...as a recall...there was so many men...I thought I'd balance out the numbers a little...this is Pearl...do you like our costumes?” said Vas as she raised Kamille's hand towards him. Vas then pushed her hair back a little flirtaciously.
“Very nice...but you do realise entertainment goes in through the back...like I told you las..” he said in a grumpled tone.
At this point Vasilia let go of Kamille's hand and let her warm body lean into the side of the man
“Please...let us in the front and I'm sure we could find you after for some fun” she whispered into his ear. At this point he stood back and smiled, imagining what he might do later for fun. There was no verbal response, but a simple nod as he and the other bouncer parted to each side and let the two of them pass.
“Thank you sweetie” she said in a fake cuddly voice.
As they walked past the main front gate entrance there was a set of large stone pillars either side and a large stone stairway down into the torch lit depths of the Pit.
“Men are so easy to deal with” said Vas as they took their time getting down the stairs. At the bottom there was a set of large wooden doors arched open and inside there was music coming from a big room. The hall was vast and combined a large raised platform in the middle and multiple booths where people sat around. It was likely “Coppermouth” would be in his private quarters or in his private booth.
As they entered the main hall quite a few eyes gazed upon them from all corners. There were traitors, smugglers and bandits who liked to frequent this place. It was a hive of dangerous characters.
Vasilia guided Kamille to the main bar where they might find their contact and looked as if she knew where she was going.

The bouncers didn't seem to intimidate Vasilia, who seemed to know them... maybe even more than she let on. Kamille would be the last one to judge, but she had eyes and ears on top of her own, and it didn't escape her. She knew how the other woman kept the way open before her.
Kamille merely brushed softly against the arm of the other bouncer as they passed by, shooting him a glance from behind the mask and a wink.
"Thank you, dear.... See you later..."
Once they were inside, and a few moments on their own and down the stairs, Kamille chuckled at Vasilia's remark about men being easy to deal with.
"Every woman is born with a charm of her own... It's the oldest power of the known world, and yet, it is highly effective still... Sometimes I question the validity of every other kind of power..."
Once again, Kamille sticks close to Vasilia, locking arms with her. They form a great pair, turning several heads, turning up the temperature quite a lot, merely with the tilt of the hips and the flutter of eyelashes. Kamille took a good look around, with a playful smile upon her lips. Vasilia was supposed to do the talking, but Kamille couldn't be quiet all the time - she made sure to start talking when they approached the counter, within earshot of the barman.
"Sapphire, you b!tch... Why you never brought me here? I'm sure there's enough work for the both of us..... No wonder you've been so happy lately, such handsome, potential clientele...."

Kamille was certainly good at this game and just like Vasilia herself, she had an eye for the little details. They had power in that room and walked like they owned the place. The air was thick with the taste of lust and desire. Now they needed to get some drinks so they could proceed forward with their plan.
“...And they pay very well you spoilt b!tch...” she said as she saw the barman close to them.
“...I'm sure you'll find “copper” a generous client” she added trying to look around for him in the crowd.
In the corner of her eye she noticed the target with a few minions around him sitting above all the other people below. They would need to make there way up there once they got some drinks to take up. This would be the riskiest part of the operation.

"Oh? Is that so? Then why is he not here already? Hold on......"
It wouldn't take long for someone to approach them and try and get them out of track - so they needed to work fast to call "Copper"'s attention, and she knew how to do it. Kamille stopped the barmaid, who had a tray full of cups filled with ale, and made her wait. Next, she pulled from her clevage a fancy, embroidered handkerchief. She had it done once she knew how they were going to approach the mission. In fancy letters, there was a name stitched to the soft fabric of the white hankerchief: Pearl. She laid a soft kiss on it, imprinting her lipstick on it, and put it on the tray, next to one cup.
"Is this meant to that table over there? See, can you give this to that one in the left? Yes, the cute one. Thank you."
She turned her back to the bar, so she could both be speaking with Vasilia and watching the table. The barmaid walked over to the table, unloading her tray before the men, and than lastly putting the handkerchief in front of the man. From the distance they couldn't hear the words, but the man asked the barmaid something about it, and she replied and nodded.
Then, finally the man looked their way, locking eyes with Vasilia first, and then Kamille. The Witch winked at him, a small smile upon her lips.

Vasilia watched the witch work her magic and saw her pull out the little handkerchief with the embroidered letter. That was a very fancy little detail indeed and not something she'd shared. As the drink was carried off Vasilia made a quick comment to Kamille “Very clever...now we're noticed” she said in cheery and amused way. The man was “Copper” and he'd seen them. When he looked at Vasilia he was obviously intrigued like the other night and now had Pearl too.
The elf then remembered the other night when she had come on her own and started talking with him at the bar. She had learnt a lot about his backstory, where he came from and how he ended up running this den of thieves. It was nothing out of the ordinary for a character of his type. He'd run a small smuggling ring in Eclipse and moved many stolen goods. Getting this place was the cherry on the top of his smuggling carrier and Ivan had helped him.
After that night he'd promised her quite a bit if she would work at the pit full time, however this was merely a cover for her at the end of the day, although a few ideas had entered her mind with that conversation on how to use the criminal underworld to her own advantage. They were so easily seduced and bought into the glamour of a feminine touch. She'd told him her loyalty was to Ivan, but that would continue to pay a visit and bring a friend. Now they were here. The whole plan would hinge on the next few minutes.
“Lets strut our stuff and give a taste” said Vasilia as she looked at Kamille with playful eyes.
Vasilia's black gloved hand slid to capture Kamille's and she led her over to “Copper”. Vas walked slowly and seductively one heel in-front of the other to “Copper” who had asked the barmaid and was still watching them. Vas made sure to show off her long elegant legs and work the male gaze for all its worth. She gave her dark hair a little flick as they moved together. The excitement within her own chest was ramping up and so did her breathing. Then after hearing the sound of her stiletto heel come towards him the two seductive beauties were now there in-front of him. He seemed bedazzled and awe struck.
At this point Vas's hand let go of Kamille's and she took a comfortable seat on Copper's lap. The elf shamelessly put her arms round the human and planted a big kiss on his lips with a cheeky smile. The two were familiar and there was no doubt he liked her attention.
“You haven't missed me too much have you my favourite club boss...” she asked him in a very girly and playful way using all the charms she could must. The man simply smiled first and then spoke.
“I was surprised Ivan would let you out of his sight again.” he replied with a intrigue look as he seemed like he couldn't contain his energy. She was sat right on his lap and he seemed eager to carry her away. His hand ran through her hair playfully.
“I told you I'd be back and bring with me a friend. What Ivan doesn't know can't hurt him” she said as she pointed up to Kamille.
“You certainly know how to dress and impress...half the room are still talking about your entrance” she said to Vasilia before looking at Kamille.
“Quite the catch isn't she...” said Vas as she held his cup and fed him some more of the drink.
“Pearl's never do come cheap” said Copper as her picked up the handkerchief with the lipstick on and took a drink of the cup that had her lipstick on. His hand with the handkerchief then patted the seat to the side of him as some of his men watched on with intrigue.

Vasilia seemed to be enjoying herself much, Kamille thought. Not that it seemed to surprise her - to be fair, she was told much more than Vasilia was aware. If their mission didn’t hinge on subtlety and Kamille could have her way, that place would be ashes by now. But - and much to her surprise - she was incredibly composed and calm when they approached Copper.
As Vasilia approached him and sat on his lap, Kamille didn’t just stand there going to the man that was nearest to her and leaning against him, still standing. One of her hand gently trailed his shoulders, while the other started to gently play with his hair. A hand came around her hips.
She didn’t say anything as Vasilia worked her way around the man, as they have planned, but when she introduced her and Copper, Kamille got away from the man that held her, and walked over. Every step was deliberately slow, her eyes fixated with interest at the man, always between one bat of the eyelashes and the next.
A friend had already told her she was capable of making the dead blush.
Sitting where he indicated, she slowly crossed her legs, sitting slightly turned to his side, as to give them the sight of the laces around her thick tigh. Once again, she trailed the breadth of his shoulders, supporting her arm on the back rest of his chair, without touching him just yet but with the tip of the fingers.
"Pearls are not for everyone..... Costly, hard to come by...... But if everything Sapphire told me is true......... I'm sure we can reach an arrangement...."

Vasilia watched and listened as the seductive Kamille did her work. Clearly she knew the art well and Copper seemed to be reacting well. He seemed enchanted and could be compared to a moth, slowly flapping his way towards the flames of destruction. At this point Vasilia now started thinking ahead, they needed to persuade him somewhere quiet where they could move to the next part of the plan and begin extraction.
Before Copper could reply to “Pearl” Vasilia cut into the conversation.
“Why don't we move somewhere a little more private...I'm sure I could get you heading in the right direction whilst you admire her” she whispered into Copper's ear as her long nails dug into Copper's leg. Copper was still looking at Pearl at this point, but seemed to acknowlege Vasilia's words.
“I'm sure we can miss Pearl. We can mix business and pleasure in my writing room upstairs in the back” said Copper as he leant over and kissed Vasilia affectionately before standing up. At this point Copper walked with the two of them to the rear of the establishment.
“Of course we'll want some drinks” said Vasilia nudging him. He then whistled to the bar girl that was doing some cleaning on the bar stools. At this point Vasilia knew that Kamille would probably be informing her to bring the correct drinks. They needed this guy out cold.
As they entered the writing room Copper smirked.
“Did you not consider my offer to stay and work here Sapphire?” he asked her as he sat in his leather chair waiting for those drinks. The two women were also in the room and Vasilia took a seat on his writing desk...letting her finger rotate around his feather quill.
On the side were papers piled high of what seemed to be bank notes. Clearly a trail of dirty money was pouring through the place and it was all being sent out to other places.
“I told you...I can't really get permission...Pearl here though...I don't think she'd have any trouble?” said Vasilia looking at her partner in crime.

A glance was all it took.
The barmaid quickly turned to grab a few drinks, as they went to his writing room. So careless, Kamille thought. Important papers on display, so easy to lure him out... She had a bad feeling.
While Vasilia went to sit on the desk, Kamille went to sit on the armrest of his chair, just within reach, having her elbow lean over the back rest to play with his hair.
"I already explained I don't work like that, Sapphire....... I can have the luxury of chosing my clients. Usually, they come up to me and I get to pick the ones that.... inspire me."
The barmaid entered quietly. She was quiet and faded with the background, like a good server should be. There were three mugs on her tray, and first she offered it to the man, that clearly was the boss around there. Then she offered it to Kamille, who was close, and got one of the mugs. Then, she offered the remaining one to Vasilia, before leaving as quietly as she came in, without keeping eye contact with anyone.
"Sometimes, I get some recommendations, though... Sapphire has talked some interesting things about you. About your generosity...."
