Okay. Smile

Words didn't really follow after that. Instead, Sidra observed Alister as the vodka and wine did quick work on him. It was doing a number on her as well and she'd have to get at least a little bit of rest before she even thought about leaving. Amethyst eyes continued to gaze serenely over at him, often darting to the necklace and lingering there for moments to take in its beauty. She couldn't wait to have it for herself. A sweet smile splayed on her lips as she settled more comfortably on the couch, letting herself lay across it's length with her body curled slightly. She took in a deep breath, now comfortable and open to the sleep that impended on her. She wouldn't fall asleep until Alister did though and thankfully, he soon also settled down in the same room on a chair nearby. She lifted herself to see him sit and fall asleep and then let her head drop. She would only get a few hours of sleep, but there was no way she was going to leave with this much alcohol in her system. It wasn't wise and even though she'd been drinking, she knew what she should and shouldn't do. Sidra took another relaxing breath and let her eyes flutter shut, opening once more until they sealed permanently. Sleep was warm and inviting and soon, she was engulfed by its comfort.

The leopard woman was awoken by the light of day seeping in through the window onto her face. She was timely when she took advantage of some unlucky fool, able to awake early. She had a slight ache in her head and her stomach was a bit upset but it was a small price to pay for the treasure that awaited her. Silently, Sidra stretched a small feminine groan arising from her. Her eyes peered over the couch to see if Alister was still sleeping. Surely, he was and now was her time to act. The woman rubbed her eyes and then noiselessly got off of the couch. Her feet were soft on the old wooden floor but she was sure Alister would sleep through anything at the moment, considering how much he drank. First, Sidra gathered her things wrapping her red cloak around and stuffing her flask and mostly empty bottle of whine into her bag. Now the hard part came.

Sidra made her way over to Alister without a sound. She thought for a moment about the best way to remove the necklace. Her dagger was removed from her bag and her arms outstretched, lightly grabbing hold of the leather string. Carefully, she grasped it tightly with one hand and cut through it. Her eyes flickered up to Alister ever so often just to make sure he wasn't going to wake up. He seemed to be sleeping soundly enough, but she had been caught before. Luckily, she knew how to hold her ground against men as big as Alister. Once she'd gotten through the leather, she slowly pulled it from around his neck and soon it was in her hands and she was free to leave. Her eyes shined down on the pendant taking in every detail. She may be tough, but she was a sucker for pretty jewelry just like most any other woman. Her eyes shifted to his sword. She contemplated stealing it too but she didn't want to push it. Sidra smiled sweetly at the sleeping giant, somewhat grateful for his kind demeanor. Too bad he had to be the one to have found her last night.

Her heat was still stirring her thoughts, making her wish she could go back to last night and go through with it. Alister was a handsome and kind man. She couldn't help but think that he would make fine puppies. Sidra grimaced and pushed the thought aside. Why would she even consider such a thing? With a scowl, she turned and strutted to the door, looking back to smile at Alister before she slipped away hopefully to never be seen again.
