Three weeks isn't a lot of time, and she's certain Schön knows it as well as she does. It means a conversation with Verity is in order. Soon. She sets aside the file on The Met as he begins explaining more details about the job.
The ring is carefully examined from afar before she picks it up. It seems like a simple silver ban, even though she knows there's something magical about it. She slowly tries it on multiple fingers until finding it fits best on her left index finger. She shakes her hand lightly to test the weight, making a mental note to remember the feeling. More things to worry about, but worth it for the ease it would provide in this job.
The matter of the ring settled in her mind, she looks back at Schön. "What's available in the operation budget?" She carefully picks up the case, testing its weight, before setting it back down. "I take it I should be prudent when possible, even though I'm guessing I have a fairly large budget." It's her hope she can convince anyone she gets to go in on the job with her from the Nexus to take favors in exchange for their efforts, otherwise she might run out of money long before she stepped foot into the other world.
There's a small pause as Amelia takes a look at the names on each of the files Schön placed on the table. "Do these files contain names and pictures, or at least descriptions, of particular pieces you want to get out for sure?" It's not an unfair question. A man with his taste is likely to have a few things he'd like to own more than anything else.
As she waits for an answer, another thought occurs to her. "Are you going to need a larger warehouse space for all of this? If so, I should know now before I finish my negotiations tomorrow. If not, then I need to know what you want for another warehouse as soon as possible." Repeat customers often get better deals, after all.
