Lucius looked at Evelyn intently, listening attentively as she spelled out her choices.
[B]"That's actually something I wanted to discuss with you, my lord. I have a few excellent thieves I know would kill for the job, but I was wondering if you wanted to invite one of your people for the heist. Divines know their talents accomplish more together.” [/B]Evelyn began. Lucius thought about it for a moment, wondering where an assassin would fit into it all, but then he thought of a wonderful choice. 
[B] “There is one that comes to mind: Devlin Mallory.” [/B]Lucius began, recalling the young he reserves at the popular establishment in town. [B]“He is well-trained in thievery just as well as he is in killing. I dare-say, his time spent at The Loving Rose has taught him a lot. After all, it is an establishment your people own and frequent for more than what meets the eyes, no?” [/B]Lucius elaborated as he put down his cup for the moment, sitting up properly and clasping his hands together. [B]“In any case, I elect him to join the heist. I do have some sort of intent for my choice.” [/B]Lucius added as final thought.
 
[B]“Now, your choices, mi’lady… Do tell.” [/B]Lucius prompted, bearing a tone of interest.
[B]"There's an Elven vampire amidst the ranks in the Guild named Tsu'tey Galaos. His thievery and stealth skills are talk of legend, he's quick with a bow, and I think he's exactly what we need for this heist.” [/B]Evelyn began. Lucius tilted his head and smiled. 
[B]“Indeed? I suppose this heist does warrant the cunning of the night. But do you have another with more unique talent to add to this quarry?” [/B]Lucius asked.
[B]"Of course, I know of a Breton who would be all over robbing a castle, and would consider it child's play. He's an expert in illusion magic, using it to run circles around his victims -- sometimes literally. Rahard Gemerth, a man who truly loves his work and is also a piece to consider."[/B] Evelyn listed off thoughtfully. Lucius chuckled, picking up his cup and finishing off his drink in a single and subtle sip, before returning the cup to its rest upon the table.
[B]“Then I believe we are set. They are a rather odd but sufficient group of versatile individuals. All that is left is to finalize the plan, gather them all up and move them into Marceilles.” [/B]Lucius concluded.

He then noticed Evelyn appeared to have a side thought on her mind.
[B]"I hate to bring up the court after we've spent all evening there, but there's one final topic of interest I have for you, my lord." [/B]Evelyn said, leaning forward. Lucius tilted his head curiously and leaned forward also.
[B]“What is it, mi’lady?” [/B]Lucius asked. 
[B]"It has to do with our... Newest addition. As I assumed you spoke with her earlier, did you learn anything?"[/B] Evelyn wondered. 
 
Lucius recalled the charming young songstress, and he tapped the table gently as he recalled their meeting.
[B]“Her name is Mirabelle Valois, and ordinarily, she is a songstress and fair maiden our liege has saw fit to let into his court for those very reasons.” [/B]Lucius began. He then smirked. [B]“I learnt… Much, from our very brief encounter. First and foremost… Her eyes…” [/B]Lucius went on, remembering what he had saw very clearly in his mind in the present. [B]“They were sharp… Piercing and perceptive… They were the eyes of someone like you or I, somebody who is familiar with the arts of the criminal underworld.” [/B]Lucius detailed, hinting very clearly at what he was about to establish. [B]“I could not even deny it to myself when I just saw through her acting. Modesty, humble sweetness, and a voice littered with false tones.” [/B]Lucius went on, further listing the other intricacies of the woman they were analysing closely.[B] “She was good, but not good enough. She would never have guessed how many a time I have shown my apprentices how to feign appearance, and how well we do it in our craft.” [/B]Lucius embellished. [B]“But I do not underestimate her skill. If she were one of my own, I would gladly call her one of the best. Which brings me to my conclusion…” [/B]Lucius added, before entailing to his judgement. 
 
He leaned closer towards the table, stilling his tapping fingers. 
[B]“If not I, then someone else has given this woman the utmost professional training. There is no doubt she is either an assassin or a spy, so we must watch her closer than we first thought.” [/B]He concluded, summarizing all his findings into a single result. He stared at Evelyn, watching the knowledge sink in.
