    Perry's eyes snapped back to Harvey and Katrin. "Someone just used a Seperation contract," Perry hissed quietly. There was little reason for anybody here to have used that contract set given their circumstances. A snap judgment as he ran through what those contracts did...

    There weren't many logical answers, and those that made sense weren't good. "We've got company," the lawyer whispered to the Winter Queen's party, looking at the door. He didn't see the threat, but he was sure it was there. His head scanned around, assessing the exit options.

    Katrin's Mien, which is rarely seen outside of the Hedge, is not all that much different in appearance from her Mask.

    The difference is she is unerringly perfect. (Gentrified Bearing, Striking looks 4)

    Her skin is pale with the slight touches of blue and luminescent as if she was partially carved out of porcelain and ice. Her hair, like her eyes, are the dark black of onyx with the harsh clarity of ice.

    As Perry revealed what he had felt, Katrin turned to the Sun Banisher and gave him a quick nod. "Harvey will check things out, yes?" she said to the group, seeming to be perfectly calmed regardless of the information the lawyer had just shared with her. "The rest of you stick close by. Were any of you followed on your way here?" Her icy glare moved from one Lost to the next, as the Winter Queen wondered who may had lead an intruder to her store.

    Harvey return his Queen's nod with one of his own, standing up immediately and reaching into his coat to pull out his gun. The Shadowsoul walked away from the group, beginning to scope out the place. While the shop wasn't all that big, there was a large collection of antique shelves, furniture and trinkets all over the place. If someone was hiding inside, it was likely that they were using one of the large bookshelves as cover.

    Okay this is creepy. And not good.

    With the ice cold glare staring at everyone Alec starts to fear he might have been followed. But he would have noticed, right?

    Then with Harvey walking around, the Woodblood would describe his feelings as being nervous.

    John was about to write off the feeling of danger as his mind playing tricks after a stressful evening, when Perry spoke up. The Darkling wasn't familiar with the Contract of Separation, but he trusted the Shadowsoul's assertion that its use indicated an intruder.

    He replies quietly to Katrin, keeping his voice low so as not to distract Harvey in his search. "I took steps against that, and was sure I hadn't been. But if magic was involved, I can't be certain."

    Perry nodded his agreement with Lapsley. There was no way they could be certain. "I made a car switch and got quite lost on my way here to lose any tail, but..." He motioned to John. "Anything's possible." Emerald Bullets flicked over to cover Harvey, worried for the other Shadowsoul. He wanted nothing more than to leave. Options flicked through his mind a mile a minute.

    As the group sat still answering Katrin's question, the sounds of something collapsing to the ground and breaking could be heard nearby. The room was filled with absolute silence after the disturbance in their vicinity, giving an eerie feeling to the Lost within the antique shop.

    Please roll Perception-1

    The sound of something collapsing and breaking caused diCarto to stand up, his eyes snapping around. He didn't see anything, which made this even scarier. His hand snapped to his phone. "Exits?" he whispered, looking around for a back door. It was time to get the fuck out of here.

    One thought occurred to the lawyer that was scary as hell; what if the thunking to the ground was Harvey?

    Harvey, please don't be dead...

    John also snaps to attention at the sound, staying seated but turning to try to zero in on the source.

    He understands and agrees with Perry; escape routes were their second priority. The first being figuring out which direction the noise came from so they don't run the wrong way.

    Magnus scowls as he glances around the room. There were so many fragile things present. If only it were a few hours later he would be able to protect so many of them.

    To the Winter Queen's question he shrugs with a grunt. The Wizened couldn't be certain he wasn't followed, but he was fairly adept at moving around unnoticed. There was always, of course, someone better.

    The there is the sound of something breaking and Magnus winces in sympathy and concern. He turns toward the sound and produces his knife. It wasn't much of a weapon, but if the Queen and the others needed time, he might be able to buy a second or two.
