"Gentlemen, welcome! What can I assist you with today?" she asked, quickly assessing Orion's quality attire and Edgar's… handsome face? She took a few more glances towards Edgar before shifting her gaze back to Orion.

Serine nodded thoughtfully, instantly pulling out a sheaf of parchments listing available properties. "I have several promising options nearby. Follow me, please."
They toured several potential courtyards, each bustling with life or worn by age. Orion quickly selected three spacious properties, each strategically situated to maximize subtle surveillance while appearing completely ordinary to outsiders.
