To some small chagrin, when Tobias allows the garnet to stay on the ground, he would have a moment of regret for letting it linger there a second too long. Yloise quickly capitalizes on his inaction and snatches up the rough, uncut gem back into her possession. It was a minor setback, though, as now more than ever, the evidence implicates directly towards her being the culprit on the roofs. He still was not entirely sure how he felt about this sudden revelation.
       Though he was no trained Gemologist, Tobias was at least familiar with the sight of what an uncut garnet looks like due to one of his vast repertoire of odd jobs; let alone the fact that he had already seen what it looks like when it was shown to him at the beginning of his contract. Perhaps he too was a bit disappointed that everything had come to an abrupt halt due to her jostling, which causes her shoulder bag to fall off. Though, there would be no inclination of a disappointed expression on his features if there was one. Orders were orders, and retrieving everything that might have been stolen was to take priority; regardless of how tempting it was to follow a more decadent path were it to present itself.
       Her eyes that dart rapidly here and there, brows that knit together in worry and contemplation, the thin layer of sweat that begins to appear, all tell-tale sign of a person guilty of something. That 'something' Tobias already knew, unless she was guilty of something else entirely, which he doubts is the case. He can already tell that her eyes dart to search each possible exit and escape route. After all, it was something he did previously, trying to think and predict a path of where she would have attempted to escape before she had most graciously presented herself again and had made his task that much easier.

       Unfortunately for Yloise, Tobias still gives no inclination of his true goals to her, or at least none is given through reflections of dark, calm eyes. On the other hand, he would at least allude towards his true intentions of what he desires by a cooing of a deep dulcet tone that seems to be accentuated by a rumble that can be described as a throaty 'purr'.
       "A gentleman I have not been known to be in certain aspects. Can I be blamed with such...titillating performance?" despite how focused he seems to be on getting back what was taken, Tobias could not help but continue their little 'game' of cat and mouse, "Which I did so enjoy as you have rightly observed. But I wonder, had you still of done it, even if you did not take some form of enjoyment from it? But despite how much I admire your assets, I most certainly did not fail to notice your belongings falling about. With something of interest that caught my eye."
       Despite Yloise's hope, Tobias would stay very even and balanced in footing and center of attention. In response to her most confident smile she can muster along with the playful lip bite, Tobias knows he has to act very soon before she does; accordingly, Tobias moves in closer towards Yloise. He closes the gap between the two until they are barely ilms away from each other. "I believe you have given me enough to keep me sated. Not too much, nor too little. Just right." He looks up at her and adds in that velvety tone that is distinctly his, "And though I can think of far more enjoyable ways to make you perspire," he beams with poise and assertion while he continues, "I suppose this will have to do for now, aye?"
       Or, if she were to take flight from his approach, he is also prepared to follow suit. If she wants to give chase, he would gladly satisfy her. Anything more, however, would be up for negotiations at a later time. Whatever the case may be, he stays focused with a singular task: retrieve the stolen items.
