As much as she wanted to be amused by Clio and Piper she just couldn't find the will to do it, instead her mind focused half on the conversation while the rest turned over her plans in her head. "Remember what the bandits used on us? Smoke bombs and grenades...explosions" she waved a hand, "What if we used a harmless version, smoke bombs and fireworks, it will make the Flames think someone is setting off bombs in the city but it will be safe. No one gets hurt and we get a window. I think bombs and the mention that it might be us would be enough to draw most if not all of the soldiers on duty" she explained. She winced at the end but only because it sounded much less grand now that she'd laid it out, "I'm fast enough, and I'm elusive enough I don't think they'd catch me...t-trust me" she wasn't going to let anyone else possibly get caught if it was her idea.
She was much swifter and slippery than most of the Wings knew, but it wasn't their fault, those traits had been gained from her upbringing and she didn't mention it often. There was no need, and only Erik and Titor knew much about it, the former because she'd felt it was only fair once she knew his past and the latter because he had seen it. Her brow furrowed as she thought of the pair of them, wondering where they were and if they were ok, it made her teeth sink into her lip and she closed her eyes for a moment to clear the worry. A deep breath later and another determined gleam in her eye had her looking back to Clio, "I think it would work. As for the pirates here...well if Youkio knows them he can set up a meeting if not...I'm sure we can draw them out. If they're professionals they can be hired, and if they can be hired they can be found one way or another."
She turned that over in her head as well, if the Flames were the ones that had hired the pirates in the first place it was possible they could use that. "It was two Lalafell and a Miqo'te actually. If Youkio can't set up the meeting, maybe we can find them another way, pass on our Flames Uniforms to Kiht and Youkio...hiding his face of course and send word through my contact here that the Flames are looking to hire their crew again since they're so satisfied with their work this time around...maybe..." she tapped her lip thoughtfully after finishing that one. It hinged on her contact actually knowing where they were which was dicey but if they frequented the decks of the city so casually they couldn't be too hard to find. Another nagging thought stuck in the back of her mind as well...what if they didn't attack them?
"Or...what if we make them come to us. It's dangerous because we'd have to hint that we were here but what if we spread the rumor that the Flames aren't satisfied...that they want their money back and that they're coming after that little- ahem, after the Captain and his crew. Maybe they'd actually be willing to give up their information if they thought they were being double crossed. Pirates are fickle that way...most pirates anyways..." she lifted her head again, surprised that she could think of more than one way to deal with them. "If we could get them on our side and find out what we need to know it would be more beneficial than simply knowing and we wouldn't have another enemy breathing down our neck, no extra, needless loss of life..."
