Game table

A cook and his kitchen boy stumble down the staircase with empty bowls and tanyards on trays and pass Kitsune going down the stairs below without seeing in my her.

There appears a gaggle of thugs drinking beer at tables and looking over the throng of the lobby at the center of the building and then down into the spider pit in the lower level. Winches carry trays of food and gamblers sit at tables with coin and dice and cards.

yes, a look and a shrug implying a question

The kitchen boy who past you going down stairs is now bringing up more steaming food on platters. A small band of musicians play music to the toss of a few coins.

Jacob and Kon sit looking at each other.

Kitsune notices most of the patrons are content to be at their tables but the kitchen boy flirts about from table to table, while a new girl darts around on the edge of the room.

Jumping to safety, Jacob lands on the roof of the Waterworks. There are roof hatches in addition to the windows facing the alley that the urchin has come and go on the third and second floors.

Having scanned the patrons and seeing no easy marks, the slight girl slips off into the shadows and reappears at the doorway down the stairs near enough to Kitsune that she sees her. Saying she was going to follow her, Kitsune goes down after her. As stealthy as Kitsune tries to be, the girl’s perception is just too high, like she knows danger and how to avoid it. She speeds her descend and disappears into the first basement level, swinging doorway off the spiral stairs.
