[ Blaze is still a rogue at heart, no matter how many new tricks she’d picked up from her far eastern friends. Though her travels and training had kept her away from Limsa Lominsa for a number of years, she’d been pleased to find that not much had changed. There were a few new faces hanging around the Dutiful Sisters, but the ones that mattered were much the same, and it made her heart warm to be welcomed back with open arms.

Her stay in the city is meant to be a temporary one, but that doesn’t mean she can’t help her fellow rogues out with a job here and there. A shinobi must have a purpose, she’d been told, and she can think of none better than the purpose with which she began her journey.

There are still a fair few individuals out there willing to spit in the face of the Admiral’s ban on piracy, and one such ship had pilfered a set of far eastern treasures from a ship belonging to the East Aldenard Trading company of all things, bound to port from Kugane. Jacke figured Blaze’s newfound knowledge of the east might prove helpful, and so set her on the trail of the fellow who is supposed to meet with the black marketeer meant to sell the stolen items.

Even after years away, she knows the city like the back of her hand, trailing the pirate at a distance through the crowded market and down, down, away from the docks and into a dark and little traversed alley. Easy as anything, she thinks, but it quickly occurs to her that she’s not the only one on the man’s heels. She could kick herself for not noticing them in the crowd, but once they’ve broken away it’s easy enough to tell. Who else would come down this way?

Jacke would have told her if she was expecting back-up, right? So, either this man has a friend she’s not aware of, or she’s not the only one after the treasures. Ducking quickly into the ally’s deep shadows to conceal herself, she waits for this mystery person to approach. ]
