With a wide smile, Aurora stepped out of the library. At least she had some idea what the crystal was; very powerful and gravity based. She knew that technically she should bring it to some authority, but... this was too good a chance to do some research. And besides, if she did turn it in, it would probably just end up in some museum. Why waste its potential, when she could do something productive with this thing?

In her distraction, she nearly bumped into another woman. At the last moment, she stopped and stepped back. "Oh. My apologies."

Once again, Levy quirks an eyebrow Cassidy's way. "You do know of the Endicott family, right? Pretty powerful family. You... might want to reconsider this."

Levy looks down at Aurora again, noting the quivery fear in her eyes. "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm Lou Levy, Ph.D in magitech engineering. Did Cassy take anything important?"

Aurora glances up at Cassidy, asking to reply.

Cassidy glances down. "You keep your mouth shut." Turning back up to Levy, she snarls. "She had nothing on me besides a possible first name, which you so damn conveniently confirmed for her. So thank you for that. And you know damn well I've done bigger jobs and pissed off bigger people than that. If you honestly go on to screw over this mark, you REALLY will owe me, and no matter how big you like to pretend you are, you also know I can get you back if you don't pay up."

Turning back down to Aurora, Cassidy rolls her eyes. "Go ahead, talk. Don't say anything stupid."

Levy straightens up with a poorly concealed smirk. "Oh, my, how scary."

Aurora looks up at him, trying to gauge how much she should say. "...Four crystals. Dagon's Olivine, Achilles' Opal, Apollo's Topaz, and an unknown one of great power."

"Unknown?" Levy closes his eyes, rubbing his chin again. "And what does this unknown crystal do?"

Cassidy sighs. "You went and said something stupid." Knowing she couldn't just pretend it didn't exist, Cassidy hefts out the large gem. "Here's the sucker. It's what I originally wanted to steal, but then she went and had the bright idea to come follow me and hope I was a nice enough person not to just kill her and be done with it. No reward for being a nice person and not just killing her from the get-go. It's so annoying."

"Apparently the girl said it manipulates gravity. You know anything about that, you spoilsport?"

"Gravity? Hm..." Dr. Levy looks down in thought. "...I'm sorry. I have no idea. Would I be permitted to examine this crystal?"

Cassidy sighs. "Considering you won't leave me alone until you do, go crazy." Tossing the gemstone over to him, she grins. "Catch."

Shaking her head, she laughs, completely aware that the subject of her speech was right underneath her. "Apparently, she found it on a visit to a dig with her teacher, and kept the little thing a secret so she could have it all to herself. I think she'd make a pretty good thief herself."

Levy snatches the crystal out of the air and inspects it. "This... oh my. Truly a magnificent specimen. I don't believe I've seen a crystal this size in ages."

As he pockets it, he turns a grimace toward Cassidy. "Do you mind stepping off of the poor girl, Cassy? I think she's been embarrassed enough for one day."

Cassidy shakes her head. "She tried to kill me when I didn't do anything more dangerous than try and run away after the theft. I think that calls for a little extra caution on my part." Turning to Levy, She rolls her eyes. "Can I have the gemstone back already? Unless you're wanting to buy it off of me, of course."

"So, what are you going to do with her? Take her home as part of your spoils?" In exasperation, Levy sighs. "Sorry, but as I said, I would like to examine this crystal. Perhaps this would be adequate compensation?" Levy reaches into a pocket and draws out a fist-sized yellow crystal, an elongated diamond in shape. "A Cronus Zircon. You can freeze time with it. I figure this would be much more valuable to a thief... pardon me, treasure hunter than a gravity crystal. How about it?"

Cassidy laughs. "Maybe. Haven't quite decided yet." Still, she ponders the offer. It was obviously skewed in Levy's favor, but with how it was turning out, getting profit off of the crystal at all was better than not. "Sure. I suppose I could live with that."

Stepping off of Aurora, she walks up to Levy. "Give it here. I'll want to see if it works right, not exactly in a trusting mood after that last debacle you put me through."
