Meiko's upper lip pulled into a sneer at the 'message', letting out an annoyed 'hmph' as she crumpled the paper up and stuffed it away. Whoever this Flea was, when she found him, she was going to strangle him. Or at least consider it. Cheeky bastard.
Back to the drawing board it was, then.Â
At the moment, she couldn't rightly think of anything else to examine closer. So that clue, for the most part, was shelved. However, there was one other part to it that warranted attention. Thankfully, the closest Mail Moogle wasn't far away at all, nor was a linkpearl vendor. After having a chat with the latter and returning to the former, Meiko stopped to write out a note penned to one Fafonji Neneji, deliverable to the 22nd plot of the Goblet's 13th ward.
Along with the note was a small pouch, containing a linkpearl. The contents of the note read as follows:

Along with the note was a small pouch, containing a linkpearl. The contents of the note read as follows:
Ser Neneji,
In searching to ascertain the identity of the 'Flea' with whom you've recently had conflict, I have come across a message warning that there are yet more objects that the man has set his sights upon. I write to you to warn that perhaps an increase in guard is in order. He did not name what he was after nor if you were even his target, however.
Should you have any further run-ins with the thief or know of others whom do, or if you have any pertinent information, please contact me via the linkpearl I have included in this message which reaches my ears only. I regret that I am unable to speak with you in person; however, in light of current information, long distance communication may perhaps be best. A flea might jump, but he cannot be in two places at once.
Rest assured that this thief will be apprehended in short order.
-- Amano
Meiko rolled her eyes softly as she re-read the letter before folding it neatly and handing it and the pearl over to the Moogle. The simpering, proper tone was quite unfitting for her. But if it were a haughty Monetarist with whom she was speaking, feigned reverence would suit her cause better than her typical no-nonsense approach. Ul'dahn elite did like their coddling.
"See that this reaches Neneji's hands and no other. Not his guards, not his butlers - no one but him." She intoned flatly at the poor moogle. "Be alert. You may be trailed."
Once the note was handed over, Meiko's attention shifted again. Any potential communication with Neneji would have to wait, given this trailing. So until she made contact via the pearl, she would have to look elsewhere for clues. With that thought in mind, the woman started off deeper into the city, where the more 'high end' shops and guilds were located. Might as well see if she could make some rounds and find out anything about Neneji's recent or notable purchases.
