Avaria stays put, content with being a look out, but nerves are running all through her body as she worries what Marrin is doing with the actual guards and how Jan and Ethel will do... And who is talking to the woman inside?
She hangs her head a bit, this Highhead better have some good intel after all this.
Jan was able to press on the wooden frame of the doorway and prevent any sound of the turning handle from echoing into the office on the other side. The invisible dust fairy slips inside and takes a quick look around.
Inside, stacks of invoices and other papers weigh down a long table in the middle of the room. A very large desk takes up most of the wall under the windows looking out towards the warehouses. The windows by the doorway give a good view of the port and K' can see Bigge, Ula, and Hammerdasher working with the two guards and the strange new woman to load the Wish.
Across from the desk, against the far wall and next to another doorway sits a very large safe.
But to a certain extent it's hard for K to get a lot more detail because of the two very large figures moving around in the room.
Even K can tell these people are big, and from the size of everything else in the room and his perspective, they are easily 7' 10" tall. Both the same height, which might not come as a surprise. Both incredibly sturdy looking. Both have grayish skin. Same eyes, and hair.
Two very large, identical twin Goliath women. But K can see differences. One has a large scar across her face. And the dark gray markings that cover their exposed skin are slightly different if you look closely enough.
Their fingers being perhaps too large for a ring, Jan will look to their necks in case it's on a chain. Failing that, and since the proposal was refused, she suspects it's in the safe.

K’ blinks out of this dimension and after a beat, Jan, focused on the safe now can see inside of it. However the immediate sensation experienced through K’s eyes is claustrophobia. The dust fairy barely fits in the empty space inside the safe. A hint of light seeps in around the seems of the safe door but it is still very dark inside. Papers, coins, what might be a sandwich, and a ring can just be made out.
<You're okay, K'oshash. All we need is the ring, grab that for me and I'll have you out of there quickly!>, Jan transmits soothingly. <But if you can, grab some of the papers too... but ring first!>
Once K has the ring firmly in hand, and is ready, she'll pocket him away and have him reappear on her arm.
"I'm really hoping that's the right ring..."

"I think that's our cue to leave....", Jan says. "Ava, can you help make sure Ethel gets along okay?"
<K'oshash, hold on tight to that ring, please, but can you go invisible and find Marrin? She should be down by the ship with the two guards, wearing that older lady face.>

Across the main road there are the warehouses and some of them have a bit of a gap between each other. Not a true alley but a bit of a breezeway.
The docks are road are busy with sailors, stevedores, merchants and the like coming and going. Whether they're paying attention or not is hard to tell at this point.
Is all of Team Romance running for it?
Back at the Wish:
A lanky bugbear stevedore comes up to Missy and the two guards as they come off the Wish to go back to get more of the building supplies.
"What are you two doing?" the bugbear asks angrily. "You're guards. You're not part of the guild. You can't be doing this. That's taking money out of my kid's mouth."
The two guards look from the bugbear to Missy and back to the bugbear, a little confused.
"It's okay Cyrus. We're with Missy," one of them finally says, indicating Missy-Marrin.
The bugbear seems to get even angrier "What's that got to do with anything?"

(Ha! Can K' see an engagement ring on one of their fingers?)
Jan will peer through K's eyes, looking for a ring.
((Odds that the hot one has the scar??))

There's no sign of a ring, or jewelry of any kind on either of the women.

Jan's well within 30' of the safe. Whether it's unoccupied or not remains to be seen.
<Well K'oshash... tuck in small, I'm going to put you in the safe.>
She dismisses him before recalling him within the safe. Once he's back, she'll cast her senses through him again.

K appears on Jan’s arm holding a ring and the sandwich - some sort of meat on dark bread. The ring has a large diamond mounted on it.
At the same time everyone can hear the sound of a small hand bell ringing. Followed by commotion in inside the office, including loud shouting.
"I think that's our cue to leave....", Jan says. "Ava, can you help make sure Ethel gets along okay?"
<K'oshash, hold on tight to that ring, please, but can you go invisible and find Marrin? She should be down by the ship with the two guards, wearing that older lady face.>

The bugbear seems to get even angrier "What's that got to do with anything?"
Missy looks up from pondering a heavy piece of wood and wondering who would honestly think it was carry-able to the bugbear.
"Eh? Oh, hey Cyrus, the boys are helping ol' Missy get good with the gods."
She whistles and waves her hands around half drunkenly.
Missy charms Cyrus.

Missy is going to have to charm the entire longshoreman's guild by the end of this.))
