Jurda, Coal and a Goat

"She knew to expect us" the Conductor said, they were currently stood in the centre of a small room rented out to Nina Zenik, a Grisha who, according to the Conductor, knew the ins and outs of the Little Palace,

When they arrived at the desired time, she was no where to be seen,

"She isn't late" Kaz observed "she'd gone."

Leo walked around the bed, inspecting the case that the Grish had left open. She saw various colours and the ruffles of dressed within the wooden trunk, however what caught her eyes wasn't in the trunk itself, rather underneath it,

The sun through the window reflected off of something metallic, something that had a sheen,

Lifting up the wooden lid, she flipped it over, closing the trunk and saw what she had spotted,

A small badge, sort of pin, was sat on the perfectly made bed,

She picked it up to inspect it, flipping it over to the back before turning it back,

Jesper saw this and asked "what is it?"

Arken took a look at Leo's hand that held the pin, and held his own out for her to place it in his palm. It didn't take a second before he realised what it was,

"Drüskelle" he huffed, Leo noticed the name, she had heard of the Drüskelle. She wasn't a fan,

"They are ruthless Grisha hunters" Arken continued,

"Explains the Fjerden krydda the innkeeper was counting when we arrived. It's likely he ratted her out" Kaz connected, Leo also noticed when they first arrived at the inn. The man had a god awful smirk painted on his lips,

Leo groaned "she probably stuck on a ship to Fjerda by now" she huffed,

"They had a clear line of attack" Inej pointed out, she was stood next to Kaz by the window, whilst Kaz was behind Leo

Kaz turned to her "take a look. Make sure there aren't any more surprises" Inej nodded pulling up her hood and heading out the window,

But he then turned to Leo tapping her on the leg with his cane, her attention was on Jesper who was currently fiddling with a lampshade,

Leo turned to Kaz raising a brow in question "you go to" he gestured to the window,

Leo gave him a face "actually... I'm quiet comfortable here" she muttered gesturing to Jesper and the room,

"Go. Four eyes are better than two"

Leo scoffed but pulled up her hood, on the way out she muttered "well three if we are being specific by whatever..."
