Seila was known to be highly manipulating. It was widely but quietly rumored that she had captured and held on to her husband through lies, cunning, and manipulation.

While this reputation made people avoid Seila at all costs, others of us had learned that Seila could be a useful friend to have. In my circumstances I needed her and her talents for my situation called for desperate measures.
The trick was to convince Seila to do my bidding without finding myself manipulated into doing hers instead. That trick involved her soft spot. Seila had a soft spot in her heart for anyone who brought her a collectible spoon to add to her collection. Not just any spoon though. The spoon had to be different from any other currently residing her collection and the more expensive the better. I had the perfect silver spoon in mind but I would have to steal it to get it.
