"Sounds like a plan. Though I'll let someone else do the talking," she says with a wry smile.

Nerris bleakly says," We can't let her die. Not like the other kid. If this is a trap then so be it but I refuse to let her be abandoned and alone."
Nerris approaches the group completely exhausted at both completing her chores and taking care of her kid. Turning to the rest of her party she says,"Im here but tired. Taking care of a kid and multiple patients is exhausting..
Nerris sighs at his questioning. "Listen I don't think you could this keep this a secret from you. I've kind of gotten involved with a rebellion and while some of this is medicine for them. This is to help them destroy a contract with an imp with accidentally found. I promise you I won't put you or Sally in danger. Im done helping them for today," she says trembling a bit.
Nerris looks at Susie slightly distraught about how she got her involved in this. Thinking about best how to handle the situation she says to the girl,"Are you really sick or just want attention? If you aren't you can come with me as I make a medical delivery for a friend. We can go play in the park afterwards." "Well. I really hope they don't need me there. I can't completely abandon my child in order to protect her. It defeats the whole purpose. Anyway its not like I can't help them without being there.," she thinks to herself as she spends some time prepping the materials.
"Listen your a nice person. I don't want you to betray your family and lie to them any more than you have too," she whispers back.
"Relax Pip. I understand not wanting people you care about to get in harms way," Nerris says with a warm smile. Upon contemplating on how to obtain silver Nerris chimes in,"You know I might be able to extract some silver from some medicinal agents so that we can obtain it without suspicion."
Nerris looks at Pip a bit confused and says,"I'm not going to even try correcting her notion of what going on but we were talking about Laria right and not ourselves?"
Nerris becomes a bit despondent at her remarks. Not because she felt she was wrong or anything but because of the tenuous position she was put in. Taking a deep breath she says,"Listen. I know your upset and you have every right to be but just understand we didn't do this lightly. I have family of my own and I always think of them and the pain I feel knowing what would happen if the Dottrai would harm them. I don't want to go into any more details but just know that there are other innocent people that could be harmed. We wouldn't have come to you otherwise."
Nerris just stares in awe of all the books in the store. Walking up to Nandy she says,"Your bookstore is amazing. Pip speaks highly of you and I can tell that this is a great store."
Nerris is going to follow peaking over Orrias' shoulder eyeing the books he's looking at.
Nerris beams at her attention that her goofy joke got. Contemplating her choices she realizes she would make a lousy guard. "I'll join you. I can't really do anything to guard if our captor tries to escape," Nerris says.
Nerris pops out from the cafe and says,"I didn't find anything though it sounds like we should book it directly to this Nandy person." Upon saying her joke she just stands their patiently waiting for any sort of response to her bad joke with a wry smile. She knows its bad. She knows its painful. Those are the best ones.
Nerris climbs back down and gasps. She says," I don't approve of that your doing. I know I can't stop you but please just don't become most like the the people we're trying to stop."
" Well we found this imp who was apparently in contract with house Sarini. Do you have any idea how they got there? "
Nerris pops into the cafe and quietly whispers to Laria,"Hey... We need to talk. There is something weird in tunnel and I wonder if you have any information... "
"Im going to ask the rest of our crew if they've seen any suspicious while they've been down here. Also, it won't hurt to give them a heads up about this situation...."
Nerris staggers a bit from being hit by creature. Thinking about the situation she starts to sob a bit. Looking around at everyone she says," Was that imp here the entire time? Spying on us. Are we going to have to go into hiding?"
Nerris just shrugs walks up to the invisible fairy and just tries to grab the fey.
" My last bomb. Here goes nothing."
Nerris walks back from the swarm a decent distance. "Listen even missing I'm still doing decent damage." she says with a concerned look on her face.
Nerris just sighs looking at the swarm of rats. "Im sorry..... Though this is the only thing that can hurt those rats," Nerris says as she hucks a bomb.
Nerris looks at Orrias and then looks at her bombs and then turns back to Orrias. Shrugging she walks up to the space everyone is firing at and tries to grab the invisible creature.
"Yeah.... I'm not sure I'd want to kill anyone. Anyway I have a plan. I'll be right back." Nerris walks off and after a comes back with a bunch of a cooking supplies including four large bags of flour. Straining under the weight she says,"Laria some of this is to replace the supplies I burnt. The rest is for the hideout." After struggling to bring the heavy bags down into the hideout she lies the bags out and slits them open flinging the fine powder to cover out the entire area in a fine dust. "That's the thing about invisibility. Its purely sight based. You still end up displacing the surrounding area. Fill the room up with fine dust and hopefully we can see the disturbances. I know it works with water because the old man told me about it but hopefully this will work too. " she says with a smug look.
"Invisibility is a thing. As is scrying.," Nerris says a matter of factly.
"Better than my cake....," she says smirking a bit.
Nerris thinks for a little bit trying to think of an appropriate distraction. After remember her failed attempt at cheering up Indra she jumps up. She beams,"Oooo.... You know what causes a lot of commotion. Burnt food. Laria was livid at me for trying to bake the cake..... So much smoke that it drove everyone out of the shop..."
Nerris still depressed over the child decides to make something to cheer up the rest. Her attempt is pretty disastrous all things considered but still edible.
" Don't. I'll just make a copy of the message so you can read it without dealing with the body. I do want to figure out how the child died.
Nerris just slumps down in a stares at Indra. " He told me that nothing would prepare me for this. That kid isn't much older...."
Nerris carefully prepares another bomb and throws it straight into the fray.
Nerris carefully prepares another bomb and throws it straight into the fray.
"Come on Indra. Im pretty sure we could fix your tooth with one of my extracts. Lets go get it."
Nerris eyes narrow when she hears this. "By who...," she says trying to scowl a bit.
Ooo.... Nerris walked over and handed Orrias her bag. That was her turn.
Nerris steps back and sighs. "There are too many of them to stuff into the bag. I know its loud but...", she says as she takes out throws an explosive.
Nerris sighs at the situation. She says," Everyone is always in the way. Everyone! "
Nerris looks despondent at Indra and says," Can I please use a bomb? I can't catch them all. Hell I'm surprised I got one."
Nerris just looks a bit despondant at Indra. "All right I'll just try and capture them," she says while grabbing at one of them them.
Nerris' eyes go wide at the suggestion. She says,"OOo right I'm a doctor. I'll just borrow some babies teeth."
