[14:22] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) pushes ipen the door of the bakery and steps inside

[14:23] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) smiles at NIcolette, "now I dare say it aint baguettes that ya wish ta talk ta me about is it?"

[14:23] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) goes and looks out the windows one last time..."Ma soeur...there has presented a...how do you say...an opportunity, non?"

[14:24] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) looks intrigued "and what might that be, exactly?"

[14:25] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) whispers: you know of the Salope who I have evicted from the home of Monsieur Oliver...this ...this...THING which they call Tabbie?

[14:26] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) nods "I know of her but I aint talked with her much and I aint seen her recently, I guess I aint been ta Annies lately and I hear that is where she is nowadays"

[14:29] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) waves her hand dismissively..."Ce n'est important, ma soeur...it is what the whore has left behind that is interesting...you see...there is there a great sum of the money...which, ma choue says is very dirty because it has come from a robbery of un banque...how it has come into the talons of this Dove...i do not know...mais...it is no longer hers and I think that we can make it OURS, ma soeur."

[14:33] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) nods "well most of my money when I was with Jef came from that kind of work ma soeur, how do ya think I could afford so many dresses back then, or set up this bakery" grins, "but I gotta be careful, I don't want no one knowing it was me, and putting a stop ta the adoption of Rebecca, but then money is always useful aint it. So......"

[14:35] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) nods..."Pas en tout, ma soeur...from the outside it will all seem very innocent...et the moneys will appear very clean...the plan is simple if you will hear it."

[14:36] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) looks over to the windows to see if anyone was to come in, then leans in a little closer to hear, "of course ma soeur "

[14:40] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) smiles devilishly..."The funds...they are in a place which is safe and not easily found...I bake daily the baguettes for my home...it would be little trouble to make a few more and place them here in your bakery...where upon...you will appear to PAY me for the baguettes..."...smiles..."from the soiled pile of cash left by the whore...from which you will take a "fee" for the shelf space occupied by my baguettes...et...voila...the dirty money...it is all clean...do you see?"

14:43] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) nods "I can do that, people will be none the wiser" she smiles "how often do ya want paying? every week or month?"

[14:46] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera): what do you think best, ma soeur?

[14:48] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) thinks for a moment, "perhaps weekly, then it will get things moving, but not so quick as ta draw suspicion. Is there anything else that could work also? I have the mercantile too, something else could be 'sold' in there"

[14:49] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) looks back hearing the door..."Ah! Ma choue."

[14:49] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) hears the door open and looks over, then relaxes as it is Sadie

[14:50] Sadie Hiker (magentastormcrow) grins "Nah... y'aint gonna tell me y'all back here bakin' cakes?"

[14:51] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) smiles "well we might be shortly, aint got round to that"

[14:52] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera): I was only making the business deal which we have discussed concerning the baguettes, ma choue...it is all settled, je pense...et...perhaps there are some other opportunities as well.

[14:52] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) winks conspiratorially at Sadie

[14:53] Sadie Hiker (magentastormcrow) nods with a hum... looking at the fresh bread, tempted to pick at it, but behaves herself.

[14:53] Sadie Hiker (magentastormcrow) catches Nicolette's wink with a "Ah... ha...."

[14:54] Sadie Hiker (magentastormcrow): Amn guessin' we've moved awn frum poisonous florah n'fauna then?

[14:55] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) looks back to Larah..."Perhaps will will begin with the Baguettes et the other opportunities will present themselves, ma soeur?"

[14:55] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera): for the moment, ma choue...for the moment

14:56] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) catches Nicolette eying the bread, "oh go ahead and have some, if ya want, i was only gonna take them home and use em, I dont think they will sell today." nods "yes, perhaps there will be more opportunities, and can we agree on a price, for my trouble?"

[14:58] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) looks to Sadie..."You know better than I what our funds amout to, ma choue...what price do you think fair for the troubles of ma soeur?"

[14:59] Sadie Hiker (magentastormcrow) gives Nicolette a half smile "Well, ah ain't gawt no head awn me fur business... But, way ah see it... Three way split? More than 'nuff t'go round... after expenses?"

[15:00] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) nods and holds out a hand

[15:00] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) offers her hand in return

[15:01] Sadie Hiker (magentastormcrow): me nods and puts her hand in

[15:01] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) grins

[15:02] Sadie Hiker (magentastormcrow) smiles "Ahm gonna leave the rest ah it t'you both... y'just let me know when y'want me go fetch."

[15:03] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) nods and gives Sadie a little kiss on the cheek...taking a small piece of bread from the shelf and handing it to Sadie..."Compliments of ma soeur."
