Pressing himself close to the door, a practiced posture to hide his work, he quickly breaks the lock with a knee instead of his usual delicate pickwork and lets himself into the dusty and cobwebbed dwelling.
A slow and careful casting of False Life stems the bleeding of his fingers and mutes the pain enough for him to reconsider his plans. What if it wasn't an orphan who squealed, but a scry? Even if it wasn't, he's left enough blood behind that he could be found that way. Staying here any longer than ten minutes runs a risk he can't accept.
He has a scroll of Teleport kept on his person for emergencies like this. Where to go? That's a question he's thought about since he was a child running from his father instead of from the law. Running down the familiar list of destinations like a litany, it has to be Kaer Maga. The law of Korvosa does not reach so far as the City of Strangers, he's once seen a scry of its exterior, and from what he's heard a necromancer of his circle will never be unwelcome in the Ankar-Te district.
He takes out the scroll, careful not to mar it with his bloody hands, and spreads it out across a chair that is intact enough to serve as a table among all the other scattered and broken furnishings.
