#//Feel free to continue the scene into the stairway if you'd like

Brieanna considered the suggestion and tapped her chin a bit in thought. "Might be better if just two of us go. Easier to slip in two cat burglars than four. But who should go? While I'm the most agile-" "Oh, I could go this time! I don't mind. I'd really like to help this t-" Bleu interrupted while getting up from the staircase, before accidentally slipping on a small floor cleaning robot he hadn't noticed rolled in front of him. The robot made an annoyed beeping sound, and several higher beeps as if it were giving the cat what for before rolling into a slot that opened in the lower paneling of the wall. Brie cringed, and looked like she was about to say something before thinking better of it. "You know, you've... got the best eyesight little bro. Best at... noticing things. Yeaaah, uh, you're a good lookout, and we're gonna need someone to keep an eye out and make sure no one gets too wise about what's up. Think you can do that?" She asked. "Y-yeah Brie, I promise I won't mess up again." Bleu tried to convince her, picking himself off the ground. Brie turned her attention back to Arika and explained, "The dry cleana's on the third flaw. You could head there with Tomme, and find somethin' that won't make ya stand out so much. Then if you's wanna try an' drop down, there's a balcony on the floor just below, connects right to the bawlroom. Only issue ya might run into is if it's closed- Tomme's the one with lock pickin' skills, and he can make sure the two of you's ain't stuck out there. Just make sure you bring enough ta share when ya both get back outta there." Brie requested. Tomme was busy getting some sort of bag from the grey cat and turned around to to Arika. "Ready to go miss? Hope you don't mind takin' the stairs. Easier to slip in that way. You'll see." He explained with a smirk, looking forward to the chance to show off.

Arika listened intently to what the trio of cats explained of their current situation with a steely serious expression. After being briefed on the situation, she easily shifted into “mercenary mode,” mentally considering their options with efficiency and speed. She hardly resembled the awestruck fish out of water from just moments ago.

“Very well, I admit that my specialty is swordsmanship but I assume you’d prefer to avoid violence if possible. I could serve as a distraction for the mark while one of you pickpockets them but that might raise suspicion quickly. We could also exploit some compromised aspect of security. If there are balconies that are likely to be empty or unguarded I could transport you three up. My only terms for payment are a share of the food.”
