"Yeah. Where we all put up our boots. Kept...our things. I can't imagine it all showed up, that would be awfully convenient. But. I did get a shipment of goblin fruit jam in the care package. Three jars are yours if you help take inventory. I'll. Disable the traps."
Erin doesn't wait for an answer, can't; if she hesitates any longer she'll lose her nerve. She steps in and starts working on the tripwires.
Erin doesn't need to wait for the answer, because it comes not verbally but as a twist of the Wyrd as her words are bound to a Pledge. It's not that Giles doesn't trust her, it's just that, well, he doesn't trust her. Not here, in the halls of her misdeeds anyway. So he'd like ensure he gets something tangible out of the risk, but he's not going to argue if she un-binds it in turn, and neither will it stop him from helping.
He'll follow from a few feet behind, so as not to get in the way while Erin deals with the traps.
"...I had plans for this place, before I got here." Erin won't look at Giles, keeps working. "The gold to the New Avalon Freehold, books of magic to Colors and her crew. Pillage all the fruit they could carry and then burn it to the fucking ground. Now...well. Maybe the tech boys have a use for gold."
"I am certain there is still utility to be found in what lies here if that is what you wish."
Giles isn't going to press for more information, despite his curiosity, but he has a feeling Erin will provide more of her own accord, just to fill the silence while she works.

"Can't imagine the goblin garden made it, fucking. That would be too convenient. Maybe the books, the armory..."
Erin waves Giles down the path. "No traps inside. We weren't precisely afraid of being robbed."
