"Hmm, you're a terrible storyteller. Acquisition of what? Something expensive, I hope."

There aren't many thieves she can say she trusts, where she comes from. Sending someone out to steal something means they'll likely keep it. One is far more likely to find someone who considers themself a collector. The exception, of course, are the yugolothi mercenaries who drift through the city from time to time. When paid well, they're more than happy to take jobs of any sort. Sometimes they even succeed without getting themselves killed.

But all that aside, it's an exciting lifestyle to hear about. Makes for good stories.
