It's difficult to know. "Power" is the obvious answer, but I saw that fossil in the vault, and surely there are safer ways to acquire power.

In which case, perhaps it was desperation. They're in need of quick coin and hoped to sell it.

What do you think?

[diametrically]

money
something like that would probably sell high to the right seller
but something that high profile is risky - even if you can steal it

[funbreaker]

Hence the desperation. They must have not had any better options.

[diametrically]

maybe someone prompted them to do it
or if they had a buyer in mind
that's the only way i would have done it if i were them

[funbreaker]

In which case, we also have to consider who the potential buyer might be.

[diametrically]

it's possible they don't reside in ikkor
but no one has uncovered anything yet alluding to that
i'll keep an ear out and see if i hear anything

[funbreaker]

Please do.
Once we're not trying to contain this thief before they escape, we can meet up and I'll show you the lockpick.

[diametrically]

that's good motivation
i might have to challenge you to another race for it

[funbreaker]

Is that so? On ice again, or would you like to change things up?

[diametrically]

what about a bike race?

A bike?

do they not exist where you're from?

[funbreaker]

Mayhap under a different name.

[ It would hardly be the first time. ]

Describe it?

[diametrically]

a two-wheeled device that you can sit on and power by pedaling

[funbreaker]

Pedaling? You mean there is no sort of engine involved?

[diametrically]

no, unfortunately

[funbreaker]

Fascinating. I suppose I will have to see for myself, but either way, I'll take you up on this race.

[ Like he's gonna back down!! ]

[diametrically]

[ He had a feeling he wouldn't. ]

i'll even throw in a practice round before we start racing

[funbreaker]

Such generosity.
Well, in that case it's a date.

[diametrically]

it might be difficult to beat a heist mystery
but you'll know if it's a date

[funbreaker]

Will I? Now you have me intrigued.
But I suppose I'll need to wait until our current mystery is handled.

[ Duty always comes first, it seems. ]

🎀

[diametrically]

i guess you will

[ How successful this flirting would be if Thancred saw him in this ridiculous hat is up for debate but thankfully he's not standing in front of him. ]
