[Nekane knew that since they took the case they cannot blame anyone for being in this situation. But that did nothing to stop them from wanting to headbutt a ceiling fan out of pure frustration.
The Head of this House was someone well known for collecting rare artifacts, be them confirmed magical items or otherwise. And that was all well and good. Nekane collected books themselves and having a hobby wasn't a bad thing...most of the time. The problem was is that often how the Head went about collecting said items and it usually involved armed robbery and murder. There were more unsavory rumors about the guy but that wasn't why Nekane was here.
A certain necklace was the newest item in the Head's collection, "traded" from someone who "conveniently" was found dead a day later after the deal went down. The original owners had come to Nekane asking them to find someway of getting the necklace back before the Head unlocked the power within it to basically raise an army of the dammed.
Hence their frustrations. They were getting some good information out of this deal, but why would you have only one guy guard something like that?!
But back to Nekane's current predicament, which involved one knocked out guard and trying to find a place to put him. They shortly stumble across an old storage closet and swing it open, their luck turning around...!
Only it's occupied. Damn it. (But they note it. It's impossible to not note it. Is someone else here too, looking for something? Or someone?)
Ekkehardt is probably far enough to miss the muttered curse. But the door snaps shut loudly and Nekane bolts in a different direction, dragging their "friend" along for the ride.
They're in poor health most of the time, but at least they could still run fast.]
