If it were anything else, she would've told them without hesitation. She trusted Azzie completely, and if these people were his friends, how bad could they be?

But orders were orders. Be discreet. Besides, drawing them into business with serious mobsters could get them hurt. Then again, it would be rude to outright reject their help.

Ultimately, Laura settled for a half-truth.

"It's a Beacon assignment, from Ozpin." the first lie. She fished in her purse for some altered briefing notes, which outlined her mission while carefully avoiding any mention of Pilgrims, her identity or Cardamoms before showing them to the group.

"There's been a spike in gang activity in Vale, and a clue's been found tying one attack to the Vacuan mafia. The Pil-... i mean Ozpin thought it's pretty suspicious that they're suddenly getting involved in inter-kingdom affairs, it could be serious. That's why he sent me to investigate."

"I'd like to say that's it's going great, but honestly, i'm kinda lost here." she admitted sheepishly.

Then she turned to Azzie "You know your way around Vacuo right? Where would the local high-profile mobsters hang out?" Not that she expected him to know. Poker tricks aside, Azzie was a nice guy, he wouldn't have anything to do with rogues like the Cardamoms, right?
