River is grinning like a mad woman, which she just very well might be. They're leaning against a cobblestone wall while she catches her breath (damned android doesn't seem to be winded at all), and listening for the clatter of hobnail boots on the cobbles behind them.

She speaks in a hushed whisper. "Oh possibly this?" She digs her hand in her pocket and comes up with a filthy rag. It's quickly unwrapped to show a rub the size of an egg. "The Star of al Aziz. Stolen from the embassy two nights prior, never to be seen again. Alas." She flutters her eyelashes at him.

"I raided their stash before they could make the hand off. That's what they get for picking such a public spot, hmm?"

She flashes him a cheeky wink and stuffs the gem back in her pocket.

"Now, come on. We're not out of the woods yet. I think -- this way is north."

She's almost right?
