*takes small bag and envelope*

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't find out until evening.

We must make haste, there was a ruckus earlier and despite all my attempts to dissuade them, the city guard is actively searching alleys and the dark and normally untrodden corners of the city searching for a murderer. It would be unfortunate for us to be tangled up with this mess just because of this meeting taking place within this dark alley, don't you think?

*Shrugs to let my cape drape down over my shoulder to conceal my arm as I walk up and place a kiss on each of Nic's cheeks* I am glad you are safe, mother. Father would be upset should any harm come to you whilst he is away.

*gently slips a note and a few coins into Mother's pouch*

I received that by messenger today, Father said the coin is to be split between us, but I daresay I don't need much of it at all, so I gave you most of it. He also said that the sealed note must reach your eyes only, and that it should be read, then disposed of completely.

*turns to Foxxie* Go to your father, and try to return with accomplices. I doubt he will come himself.

*opens the envelope, reads through the letter then burns it*

I must depart, the Borgia are sending someone to meet me, you two would be wise to leave before they get close.

*Deftly ascends the nearby buildings and begins the long trek to a messenger's office first, paying the fee and sending the messenger off with a note to Mother*

There, now that the message is en route, I can head to Father.

*Makes my way to the city gate, rents a horse with which to travel to Father's meeting spot*

*blends into the crowds, making my way to my hideout, buying an apple along the way*

Captain, 36 orbits, please. Use that time to gather what local info you can. Find some middle-of-nowhere spot as close to the target city as possible that can remain unobserved. I shall descend to the planet at 1200 hours.

((Umm, Thrawn, Queenie specifically instructed to stay within the bounds of the theme and time period. Sorry to say, but I doubt Star Wars happened so close to our time and so close to the Milky Way that Thrawn's star destroyer could survey 15th century Italy =P

Just saying, the giant floaty text littering the galaxy did say "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...")
