Vanessa took a moment to think over Claudia's offer, her identity for information regarding the Rebels, it's too good to be true and she could provide false information. On the other hand, she could provide information to help overthrow Minerva, it was clear to Vanessa that Claudia wanted to lead the Rebels her own way, hopefully with less bloodshed. 

Before she could speak, Vanessa heard the front door open, Collin was back and he called out to Minerva inside the tavern. It wasn't that much of a surprise to Vanessa, Minerva wasn't known for large entrances, or any for that matter. She must've heard their conversation, best to end it quick. "Tell you what [i]dear[/i], I'll make sure the Enforcers lay off your tavern as a sign of good will. I'll be back another day and I'll be ordering warm mead. I'll show you what you want to see, and you tell me what I want to know. Right now I think you have a rather important guest waiting."
