Jeff is able to tell that this is in fact the good stuff, as the set of crystal glasses alone are worth 300 credits, while the five unopened bottles of wine would sell for 50 credits each.

“Welp. I’mma ‘bout 100% sure this is wine.” Captain Obvious would grin. “It’s the good stuff.” He’d lean in to whisper confirmation to Gin.
After a hot minute of silence and staring at the goods, Jeff would purposely dart his eyes around and mutters out loud. “Swiper no swiping?” Basically his way of checking in with his Captain and Quartermaster on his choice of etiquette.
Gin had been in the middle of reaching out towards one of the bottles when Toni speaks up against stealing. The lashunta retracts her hand back to fold her arms in front of her chest with a pout, clearly disappointed with the decision, but knew better than to defy her sister and Dani.

A few minutes later, a dark-skinned woman enters the room. "Greetings, my name is Zarskia. Please help yourself to some refreshments. How can I help you?"

“I guess I’ll just have to keep stealing hearts.” Jeff playfully sighs. He’d run his fingers through his hair and dust off his jacket.
When they’d be welcomed by Zarskia, Jeff would give a charming smile prior to giving a gentlemanly bow. “Jeff.” He’d offer his hand to the lady in greeting. “Don’t mind if I do.” He’d perk jovially, striding back to the wine and glasses. The man would expertly pop the cork and pour glasses for the ladies, even offering one to Arc. Even if he didn’t expect the botman to accept the offer, it was a gesture of equality to include all individuals. He’d step to Zarskia, offering her glass and then holding his up for a casual cheers with her. A confident smirk would tug at the corner of his lips. “Would I be out of line to ask for a private tour, Miss(?) Zarskia?” The charlatan paused a little on Miss, basically hinting at confirming an honourific. Time to play for a little preview of some sticky sap.
Gin hops on over to where Jeff and Dani had been with a beaming smile on her face, excited to go on a tour.

Toni smirks at Jeff's shmoozing, happy to let his Riker-ness flourish. She nods in affirmation that they all wanted to go, and gets up to head over with her crew, keeping a close watch on Zarskia in case she tries anything untoward, communicating telepathically to her sister, "We should use our telepathy when we want to message anyone from here on. Don't want to tip Zarskia off in case we decide to jump her."

Zarskia gives you a tour of the facility, starting off by showing you the container storage, where there are shelves stacked with containers of various shapes, all full of what you would believe to be alchemical concoctions. Then she shows you the herb drying room and the pharmacy, where drugs of a more legitimate nature were made, although it looks like those areas have not been used in some time. The next section of the tour is far more mundane, with her showing you the dormitories for the guards, the kitchen, and the dining room, although the latter of those rooms contains a curious creature, a grey leopard with snakes coming out of its' back. The creature seems to be a pet of Zarskia's, as it stands down upon seeing her with you.
"And that is where we'll be ending the door. I apologize for its' brevity, but the only remaining areas of this floor are my laboratory and personal quarters and I'm not going to show outsiders my trade secrets or my private quarters. Shall we return to the meeting room to discuss what goods you need from me?"

Jeff would sigh playfully, “And here I was hoping to learn your trade secrets in your private quarters, all while obtaining the goods I need.” He’d smirk, moving to try to escort Zarskia forward.
(Positioning her for whacky wacky, as per Book’s suggestion. SURPRISE!)
On the walk back to the meeting room, Toni puts out a message to each crew member, "Once in the meeting room, we strike, then we can try and get in to her personal quarters to get any info we need."
Once back in the meeting room, she will try and casually block the door, PERFORMANCE: 23
