Alex Thorne unlocked the door to a small antiques shop called Curious Goods and opened the door. It was around noon and she was just opening the store. She didn't really keep set hours at the store since it was more of a hobby for her and not a means of income. She entered and flipped the light switch. Lights in the store came to life and revealed a shop full of old objects from all over the world. Some weren't worth much while more expensive items were hidden among the clutter.

An orange tabby meowed and brushed up against her legs. "Good morning, Plato," she said and reached down to give his ears a scritch. "Let's get this day started shall we?"

	"Oh?" she said now interested. "What kind of things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No idea," he shrugs and begins fishing through pockets. "Keeps odds and ends of all kinds, doesn't even have a lot with him, just leaves it in a storage thing or with someone else if he has no space." Keeping up the act gives him some time to study the place a little. No junk disguised as antique like some places, but then again there wasn't anything of particular value out anywhere either. Curious, but a good sign. This one knew what she was doing.

"You'll have to talk to him about prices, I think he's just giving away most of it. The rest he'd probably negotiate with you once you check it out," he flashes a friendly smile and hands her a piece of paper. "He said if you gave this to the guy at this address he'd show you the storage box with the stuff. Pick what you want."

He keeps up the act for now, there were actual antique books and various knickknacks there, but the artifact in question was one of those less impressive ones that would look like someone had accidentally dropped it there. Nobody who didn't already know what these things were would give it a second glance. He'd go check in a few months to see if she'd taken it, if not well, he'd find some other way to get rid of it.

	Alex accepted the piece of paper with a smile. "Thank you. I will definitely take a look. I'm always looking to get new pieces." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He'll be glad to hear it," he responds with a polite smile. He glances around the place once more to see if there was anything he'd send someone for at another time, people his apparent age didn't frequent antique shops, he'd need to find someone to do it for him. Not that that was ever hard.

"Thank you for your time, I hope you find something in there. I really don't know what he keeps in those boxes." Mission over. He turns and leaves, the youthful smile he'd been using as a mask disappears as he vanishes into the crowds in the street.
