"Hey, sounds like a plan to me!" Rookie chimed, waving his tail. "What sort of signal?"

The penguin nods once, "Very well than. I know he's passionate about his work and is Master Kini's friend. I want someone to tell Kini the real story before the damage becomes in repairable. I hope you have a nice day Ms. Sakura."


"Wealth isn't something she's short on."


"What kind of distraction do you want," Luna asks grabbing out a few items from her pack, "I have smoke bombs, memory spay, some kind of illusion device, and maybe I can figure something else out."

Sakura nodded once. "Very well. Good afternoon to you too."
----

Zero flicked his tail. "Splendid. Then we should get along just fine."
----

"....Where did you get all of that?" Rookie mused.

"You do realize who I work for right," Luna asks, "that and Night owed me a favor."


The penguin bows again before making his way back to the citadel.
Kini sniffs the air before approaching Miss Sakura, "What did Geoffrey want?"


"What's that saying about chicken and eggs. Oh yeah don't count your chickens before they hatch," Sarah thinks aloud, "it could be a trick but I don't it. Just be careful the Snow Beast lives in that area and he wants your head on a silver platter."

"some questions better left unanswered" clik remarked. "distraction will be me and luna probably with the smoke, knocking out some people, maybe some light arson... whatever get's destroyed should've been destroyed a long time ago so it shouldn't matter" she told them. "and signal wise rooks what can you do?" she asked.

Luna nods once before getting the smoke bombs ready.

Rookie shrugged. "I guess I'll just give a little whistle. It's a big warehouse, it'll probably echo. And after that?"
----
"I'll survive," Zero sighed. "Besides. If she doesn't like me, she can always just say no. I'm not that desprate."
----
Sakura folded her wings with a soft huff, watching the penguin leave. "Mrs. Winter requested an audience with me. It's very unusual." She shifted her stance in the snow, then glanced back at Kini. "I plan to go on my own tomorrow. I have a feeling that there will be more to this than a simple house tour."

"That's obvious Ms. Sakura but it is an opportunity to see the citadel. Plus you might get to know why she wants us dead," Kini responds.


Sarah nods once, "Aright then Zero good luck."


Luna nods once in understanding.

"Hm. Perhaps. My concern is that it could just as easily be a trap," Sakura responded. "She wanted me to bring Joe along. He's clever, but can't really defend himself without a handgun. I wouldn't put any of my workers in a situation like that unless I knew for sure they could handle it."
---
"I take it you're staying then?" Zero noticed.

"The reason she invited Joe was so you wouldn't be alone in case you didn't want to go alone. You can take anyone with you. No weapons or hostility will be allowed in the room you'll be in. Only Mama Winter and Geoffroy will be in the same room or at least that's how I remember it," Kini recalls, "if you want to bring a weapon it's your choice just know all weapons from both sides will checked at the door."



"I don't want to encounter her right now."
