Eira will shuffle on her feet a little bit, nudging Tine and Lia. She'll lean in to whisper to them. "Mind trying to distract or persuade them? I feel like you two may have an easier time of it."

"Hard to do it when we all just walked up like this." lia whispered back. The plan, in her own mind, was for her and Tine to go ahead of the others and do the distracting, but that is out now. "Might want to just try talking our way past now..." she whispers.
"Morning, Eira, ladies, sir," one of the guards says, nodding at each of you in turn. Eira, you recognize the man as Luc, a newer recruit. "Nasty bit of business this morning, isn't it?"
Tine smiles as she looks at Lia and whispers back "Where's the fun in that?" she asks walking towards the guard as she nods "Terrible to hear, especially as the crowds begin to spread what happened and the rumors begin to form. How are you doing?" she asks lifter her hand to rub his arm gently.
"Oh, I'm, doing well, thank you. At least, as well as I can. Rodrik was a good man... And I don't pity whoever had to break the news to his brother." Luc shakes his head. "I saw you, last night. You were one of Ruby's champions, right?"
With an amused chuckle, though keeping it from being heard by the guards, Lia moves to the second guard. "Bad bit of business to be sure." She agrees. " She trails a hand down his arm, from shoulder to wrist. "How did you get this work, watching here?" She smiles up at him, clearly interested in him and his answers.
Tine nods "I can't imagine how his brothers are going to take it, let alone his father." she just gives a light smile "Yeah that was us last night..." she moves in a little closer hugging his arm a little tighter "Were you impressed with my performance? The secret is to be really flexible."
Lia continues to smile up at the guard. "You are Henry, aren't you?" She asks, her hand moving from his arm to put her palm against his chest. "Did you see us last night, we were the champions for the Hope Knife ceremony last night..."
Tine beats Luc's Insight, and Lia beats Henri's. The two young men are recent recruits, and were not prepared to deal with these sorts of... situations. As the two women distract the guards, Eira and Metzger have a chance to sneak through. Go ahead and roll me Investigation checks, both of you.
Meanwhile, the two poor guards are blushing and tripping over their words as they try to make conversation and remain professional.
"I bet we would have lost last night if you were part of the militia we were up against." Lia goes on, her hand moving across Henry's broad chest now. "You are so strong..."
"Drinks would be amazing." Lia says with a nod of agreement. "A fine strong man like you, would be wonderful to have a drink with." She leans in a bit, brushing her chest against his forearm.
Tine just smiles giving a giggle and shy smile "Shame wish I had a strong militia man to take me for drinks." she says looking to Luc trying to think of how to get them away from the door to make it easier for the others to get out. She just leans a little closer "Maybe we could get one now?"she asks letting her voice turn a lighter trying to draw him into the idea.
The four of you head up the stairs to the hall, and see two guards standing dutifully outside Rodrik's room. They nod at Eira when they notice you.

Metzger keeps quiet and observes the interactions.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Eira will also keep quiet for now. Mostly, she'll try and peel to the back of the group, waiting for a chance to sneak past into the room.

Eira, searching the room, you find a piece of paper between the headboard of the bed and the wall. Handout 1
Henri suddenly blurts out "Drinks!" to Lia. "Drink. Could I maybe... take you out for a drink later?"
