Giovanni followed the woman through the streets and she led him to a shop. She nodded at him to let him know that this shop was his target. Giovanni smiled. He watched as the shop keeper looked around his store. This guy was good. She had led him here to truly test him, and that excited Giovanni.
Giovanni nodded and entered the store, looking like a normal patron. He examined the wares. It looked like a sort of antique shop. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to what he sold - it was really an assortment of different items. Perhaps it was a pawn shop. Giovanni noticed the lack of religious artifacts - perhaps due to the political climate in Egypt.
Giovanni didn't remain in one place at once. It was a fine line to walk looking at items enough to seem interested, but also not looking long enough to draw attention. There were a few people in the store, and Giovanni needed to blend in. Giovanni passed by one person as he slipped an item into his pocket. He continued to look for a minute before heading out of the store non-chalantly.
Giovanni met the woman outside and led her away from the shop. There was no worry in his step, it was just prudent not to remain around the scene of the crime long.
"Did you even take anything?"
she said, and Giovanni smirked, pulling out the item and tossing it to the woman.
She looked surprised for a moment and then smiled. "I could learn things from you."
Giovanni smiled. "I'd be willing to teach."
The woman held the item up - a small statuette of a jackel. "Can I keep this - as a momento."
Giovanni nodded and she pocketed it. The fact that she had asked showed a semblance of respect for Giovanni.
"Aaliyah - Aaliyah Zevros."
she offered her name.
"Giovanni Cavelli,"
he gave her his with a smile. The god had found his first servant.
