[One wonders if the clerks of the lesser used, sometimes never seen shops of the hotel must get bored, and even welcome the troublesome, thieving residents that appear.

If so, the one nearby isn't batting an eye either way at the girl who eventually gave up asking him to pull out anything she spotted, and instead started sliding the displays open

Careful not to grab too blindly- there's a white 'head' there.

"Just what are you doing..?" He's very clearly amused by whatever it is at least."

[repeatnshuffle]

[Gah-! What's that doing...

Honestly, why does this surprise her so much? But, can anyone blame her for jolting back her hand to give him a suspicious stare.]

-I'm looking for something.

What about you?

[caniskleftis]

"Hnhnhnhnhn... A 'dog' can't wander a little..?" The jackal mists out from the display, floating above it with a grin. "I was wandering- I've hardly got use for these trinkets... I prefer... Larger challenges," he says after a brief pause, moving a paw through the air in gesture. "Things that are a little harder to carry away from the scene."

And damn if it isn't fun to watch the looks on the officer's faces when he does.

[repeatnshuffle]

-I don't know what you'd find like, around here. Everything's free.

[And she would say this strange spirit's familiar, but she's not sure how to broach it. Or if she wants to.

Giving him frowning stares is the clearly better option.]

Besides, I'm not looking for something- really valuable.

[caniskleftis]

"Well you're clearly looking for something now aren't you?" Grin..~

[repeatnshuffle]

I suppose- but I don't know what yet.

[-is the half-truth a little obvious in the gold-sorting?]

[caniskleftis]

He looks at the sorting a moment, ears twitching. "You don't know... But you seem to have a fair idea of 'what goes where'..."

[repeatnshuffle]

Well I did pull it all out.

[And some of it might not be going back to where it started- but who's saying so?]

[caniskleftis]

"So you did!" he laughs, misting down to sit beside the girl. "But just where is it going now..?"

[repeatnshuffle]

[-too bad she can't step back as she likes, if she's going to reach the display.]

It's going back where I found it, course.

I'm not looking to empty the store.

[caniskleftis]

"Nooo, but you seem to be very particular about how things are being organized..." Really. You, a thief? That would be the day.

[repeatnshuffle]

Hn-- I want to make sure I didn't miss anything...

[That musing might have been a little wiser kept to her distracted self.]

[caniskleftis]

"And just what would you miss, if you don't intend to keep anything?"

Well isn't someone being their usual tricky self...

[repeatnshuffle]

---I might want to take something.

But I don't know what I'm looking for.

[Specific enough? Leaving out something?]

[caniskleftis]

Well it certainly feels like she's leaving something out, and so the jackal sits up on his haunches and brings a paw to his chin in 'thought'. "Well then," he begins. "Lets get this straight... You don't know what you're looking for, but you definitely WANT to have something to look for, otherwise you wouldn't have torn everything from the shelves and started sorting it. You might want to keep something but apparently you aren't keeping anything, because you don't know what you want to keep. It sounds to me," he chuckles, "That you've confused yourself, my dear~"

Canis don't call her dear.

It's creepy.

[repeatnshuffle]

[Guh- Concurred.

Especially as that gesture reminds her of a certain former item-dwelling ghost.

But she's come to realize he's going to not drop it, and letting him know might be a bigger problem than risking him trying to disrupt her.

So she gives him a faint frown and answers.]

I was looking for something to match a couple rings I brought, but I lost them when the clerk tried to clean, and now I need to find them, too.
