    Summary

    One Fatui member remains in the front. You scale up the building effortlessly, nothing compared to the hell you just went through. Shifting window to window, your eyes land on the pitch-black darkness of the room at the top of the building. An ideal glow casts on the fraction of precious gold resting on a coffee table. This has to be it. You slink through the window soundlessly, and land on the balls of your feet. Analyzing the dish, you don’t discern the pendant. You can faintly identify some bookshelves near the dish, and tiptoe further inside. You creep around luxury sofas, and squint at the embellished glass case next to the door, containing all manner of jewelry and valuable possessions. You won; this was it. You scurry to it, moving with abrupt carelessness. One more step.

    The fireplace you didn’t heed is set aflame. It flickers sneering shadows on the opposite wall and brightens the case. You pause and hope. There’s a confining silence stirring in the room, like someone is with you. The case is visible now, and so is the key to opening it.

    You fell into a trap.

    “Looks like I have a little thief on my hands.”

    Summary

    The Regrator’s hold on his quill faltered slightly, and he eventually put it down. His eyes narrowed.
    “You-”

    “So now you’re finally acknowledging my presence ? The things I need to do to finally have your attention...” Dottore mockingly lamented, cutting Pantalone off. His thumb stroked the edge of the banker’s jaw, raking over his skin.

    “I thought the message I sent this morning had clarified my mood. You truly need to learn how to read context clues, Doctor.”

    “I’m afraid Twenty-Five is the one who opened and destroyed your letter. A pity he killed off your messenger. After he burnt the note, I had no way of reading its content.” The scoff that escaped Pantalone’s lips did not earn any reaction from Dottore - save for the slight twitch of the Doctor's fingers. “Whatever happened between you, Twenty-five, and Forty-five yesterday is none of my concern. But I expect answers when I’m having a conversation with you.”

    Or, Pantalone is upset and decides to ignore Dottore for a while. His resolve lasts a day.
