(Of course.)

"I never did." Francois replied to Throin. But something in Maven's look was different this time. She wasn't trying to hide how she felt, she was showing her true self.

Everyone went back to their regular schedule, the trial was over. After the trial the city seemed to brighten up a bit, as if a heavy weight was lifted off everyone's shoulders.

Francois was in his office thinking about what Maven said. There is no real harm in talking to her...but just to be safe. The captain got Arnor to go with him to speak to Maven that evening. They entered the jail and had Maven brought to the interrogation room. Francois was sitting at the table when the jail guard brought her in. "You wanted to speak to me?"

"Yes." she sat down. "I am well aware that you caught me, so no more games and no more bullshit. I want something, and in return I will give you something that you want."

"What do you want?" Francois asked, though he knew what she wanted.

"No, I don't want to get out of prison. That bridge is burned." she said as if reading the captain's mind. "I don't have many years left in me, so if I am going to spend the rest of my days in prison I might as well live comfortably. I want to be moved to Sibbi's cell, no one is in it at the moment."

"You don't deserve that kind of comfort." Francois said. "I'd be rather happy with you rotting in the worst cell in this place."

"Well then you'd be missing out on some very important information. You know full well about my involvement with the Thieves Guild don't you?" Maven asked.

Francois leaned in. "Yes, many people knew but there was no evidence to support that claim. But how is this important?"

"Oh captain, I thought you were a smart boy. This is important because I know the guild's secrets, the biggest one being its location. I will tell you all about them if you move me to Sibbi's cell, and I will throw in some extra information if you return everything you confiscated from my family and my business during your investigation. And leave them alone, of course." Maven said.
