Kage had reached a similar conclusion. The lack of disarray upstairs was a real clincher in that thought. As Ria went totally to Skaylen, he added a question on top of Lilly's. "Just in case this isn't entirely a feint, find out if he kept anything down here that was rare or difficult to come by."
When Ria was outside he moved closer to Lilly and lowered his voice. "This job is too dirty to be a pro, and too clean to be a novice. If it were me, and I wanted to hide my target, I would leave no trace there but make sure to snatch other random bits that were obvious. Make it harder to identify all the things missing. But they took only one thing...at least just one he is telling us about. And I find it hard to believe that was just a regular cask of oil, stuff is in a lake down th road if they really needed some. Either it was a part of his experiments and is more dangerous to someone who knows how to use it; they got something much bigger and he is hoping it will come back with the cask; or it was a small group with minimal knowledge of the job. Told to get something , but not sure how to do clean. The kind of effort needed to blast those hinges from a water mage means they have some power behind them.
I wonder what aspected auroil that was. If it was fire, maybe you could burn the trail and follow it? See if you can figure that out while I go talk I suppose."
He went out to talk to the employer. "We need more information about that oil. Want to talk out here or step back inside?" He could at least respect that maybe this guy had some secrets he wanted out of the public.
