What a Mess!

Leon was exploring his guest room in Aldebast. Everything had a scholarly look to it. It was kind of castle chamber with hints of color. Leon had one of his beaming smiles as he marveled at the objects in the space. He then picked up the enchanted light source for the room. "This looks like it might go for a bit on the market" Leon turned the lamp/light object around in his hands. After he got a good look he frowned and put it back down. The room was mostly empty so not much he could pocket without someone noticing. Aldeblast was famous for wizards and scholars so it would be a shame if he didn't get something good. He could hear Jamie tsking in his head if he missed an opportunity like this. Jamie was the type to steal your room and then convince you that the room was theirs to begin with. However, Leon was a little more cautious. The kicker was he really wanted to be able to come back to Aldebast for various reasons. Being stealthy was key.

"Maybe I'll get an idea if I get some air." Leon leisurely walked the halls. His illusion aspect would only get him so far. Plus it would be a bad idea to use aspect magic in a place that was famous for aspect scholars. Leon puzzled a bit before seeing a bunch of people cleaning in one of the rooms.

The room was wall to wall shelves with an assortment of tomes, papers and knick nacks. It would have been rather grand if it wasn't covered in stuff like a tornado had hit it. Leon smiled as he got an idea. Grabbing a broom from nearby he started to sweep. He made it seem like he was supposed to be there. Blending in was easy for him. "I wonder what I could pocket?" he mused. There were plenty of documents and spells scattered about. Leon drooled at the thought of stuffing a mythic tome in his jacket but that would obviously be missed. He lifted a few things and dusted to play his role well. While he was cleaning he kept track of how much stuff was covered in dust. More dust meant less likely to be discovered or found missing in a timely manner. 

It was then he got to a row of shelves coated in dust. Leon eyed a fancy corner of paper sandwiched under a stack of books. It was ornately decorated with painted illustrations around the edges. Leon's eyes sparkled as he looked it over. Other than the border, the page was blank. It was rather curious but something about that paper said I'm important. Leon dusted a little then when he was sure no one was looking, he pocketed the paper. He'll have time to observe it better later. Sweep. Sweep. Sweep. Leon chuckled a little however it quickly turned into a fit of coughing as he inhaled some dust. "This place is disgusting..."
