Seeing Felix's hesitation, Jenna glanced to Dave, and gave a very subtle nod before she stepped up to the table, stopping behind the cat boy's chair, and laid a hand gently upon his shoulder, "Try to think of it as more of a... rescue mission", she said with a smile.
She tilted her head, glancing at the blueprints, "This diamond was unearthed by a small colony of miners to the south. You'd think finding something like this would mean they'd never have to go down those dangerous mines again, right? Well, that's how it should have worked. Unfortunately, they got ripped off, big time. Some business men with shady connections get word of the diamond... and head down there, taking advantage of the minors utter lack of knowledge of the outside world and the value of money, and buy it from them for next to nothing...".
She'd leaned down a little now, resting one hand on the table, her eyes looking into those of Felix as she explained. "Technically, what they did was legal... but sometimes it's important to do what's right, not what's legal. Don't you agree?", she asked, a hand reaching out to gently scratch the spot behind one of his kitty ears.
