Liza slips back into the Settlers common room, salt air and smoke clinging to her cloak. Hansel and Broderick are still bent over the wharf map, but the moment they see her, both men straighten.

The warehouse is beneath the salt storehouse on the east wharf. Black door, chalk mark. Guards in shifts, not many at the back.
Hansel
That is enough to move on, if we move fast.
Broderick
Then we strike where they think themselves hidden. We can use the wharf routes against them.
Broderick drags a finger across the map, marking the storehouse and the nearest lanes. Hansel sets a hard look toward the window, as if measuring the cold streets beyond it.
Hansel
Lupus stays at the wharf. If their men shift early, he sees it. If they reinforce, we know before dawn.
The copper coin on the table catches the lamplight between them, a small, dull promise of bloodless advantage if they move now.
