Why did everyone always assume he was lying?
It was probably a good call on their part. He was usually lying. Or, as he preferred to think of it, redirecting. Sage’s offer was decent of him, but Jaxen wasn’t interested in dusty relics. Except maybe the narwhal husk. That thing was still his favorite, after the Emperor’s sword at least. But who wanted a dull old sword when there was something called the Sword of Light.
Just for fun, Jaxen pushed some headlines to Aiden – several years outdated – of his favorite heists. “I only dabble in digital. I prefer hands on.” He waited for recognition to settle. Honestly, this was about his favorite part of any heist, the recognition.
Museums, the Louve, the Tower of London, all the good places. The only place he never tried was the Vatican, but mostly because shiny religious artifacts never interested him.
“The Atharim had lists. I’ve shown you what I had. There were other things in that basement that the Atharim do not want out. I think if you put some of those in the hands of an Ancient, they will piss their pants.”
“What am I after? I have to say I have my heart set on this," he said. “I saw references to maps from the Book of Leinster at Trinity College in Dublin. The lost pages from that same book are said to reveal the origin of the treasures we seek. I think the Atharim took the pages to protect the location of the weapons.”
