Anni turned to the slig when she heard him talk and looked apologetic. By the time he had finished his speech, she looked somewhat different. "Um... Sorry. I really like sligs; it's just my friend, Jim, is scared of them, and he wouldn't be able to work very well around one. I hope I didn't offend you." She tried a friendly smile.

Krik searched briefly through the shelves and cabinets but there was nothing special or unusual. He did slip a bottle of pills into his bag (because it was hard to get supplies like that in his situation) but was mostly disappointed. He glanced towards the door to the cage room, but decided to leave it till last because it was the room he could best explain his presence in if Dek caught him. He headed into the storeroom instead.
