Lifted from his lap Emma gave him an understanding nod of her head. "I'll probably be returning in my black shirt and trousers, that feels more .. right for this.." A lift of her fingers to the Lariat around her neck. "Majesty, Could you maybe convince this to be about my waist, so I can hide it... just might raise fewer brows if I don't have a gold chain visible?"
Once he touched it and got it to move, she did however flash him a smile. "Thank you, Majesty." With that, he saw her seek to leave slipping off through one of the servant's exits and making her way back to his rooms. Once there she got out of everything and used a little water to ensure she wasn't sticky. Then got dressed in her black shirt, new bloomers and those black trousers. Seeking to put socks on and her boots she added in the coin purse with about 30 gold in it.
Making her way of the Castle the back ways, she was soon down in the streets and moving to the furthest Brothel. Here she went in and met up with the actual Madame Carletta, and paid her a handsome 5 gold for information on James. He'd been seen leaving one of the last properties he bought up, with a cloaked man.
Staying for a half glass of whiskey, she thanked her and then snuck off for the next. Here it was more a whore she needed, finding her finally she paid her two gold for the information, that James also seemed to have left here and there were rumours of a secret brothel in the city. Somewhere off Market Street.
With that in mind, she knew who to see. There was a cobbler who worked late into the night on Market who might see more than he knew. Heading for there, and taking a moment to browse his fine ladies' slippers, she purchased a pair of black ballet-like slippers and a pair of doe-skin white ankle boots. Tipping him five gold then for information on the comings and goings she learned that as the night got later, people seemed to be going into the candle-maker store a LOT at night.
He was able to tell her that James did own that store, along with a few others. But that his own store, he owned himself. Free and clear. With all this in mind, she debated on if she should go peek. See if she could learn anything more. She knew it was likely the King would need proof. So, she took a moment to collect herself, then headed down to the Candlemaker's shop and inside. Within it old Joe gave her barely a glance before he pushed a button and a wooden panel opened and Emma graciously slipped through it. heading down, down, down a lot of steps until she was suddenly stepping out into a room. It was rather tavern-like with a bar, and serving girls, yet the girls were far more exotic and pretty.
She noticed that each seemed to have thicker metal bracelets on which reminded her of something she'd seen on a few people in the place across from where she'd been living. She did stay for one drink and realised she didn't at all recognise the accent. Seeking to slip out and then make her way back to the King, she was perhaps just about to step into the castle, proper, when two of Edward's thugs came upon her. One shoved her, and instinct kicked in, she rolled into it and came up with her hand wrapped out the coins remaining to slug him as he came up to her. He went down...
Potentially the sudden noise might just draw the attention of guards loyal to William.
