Her little shop had been thriving of late, her customers tending to become familiar faces at the discovery of the true magic that filled the colorful vials Serafina sold. What had once started as a last desperate measure soon became an addiction for many that frequented the Edge of the Circle and Serafina was keen to profit off of their needs. Unfortunately, her healthy stack of commissions required ingredients that were not all easy to acquire, leaving the woman seeking...unusual means to meet her needs. A soft breath left her lips as she stood in front of the large, cast iron gates of the local Sacrosanct zoo. Her stormy gaze traced the fanciful filigree that kept the zoo animals safe from any outside poachers that might have sought the exotic animals. The cameras trained on the entrance had already been dealt with, leaving the pair of female 'thieves' with but the door to handle. Although the young witch was not particularly fond of her companion's utilization of telekinesis upon her...it was the most effective way to breach the zoo without leaving obvious destruction in her wake.

Her arms crossed over her chest as her gaze cut towards the woman beside her, "Yes, I remember, Raven." She responded, clearly waiting for that familiar feeling of weightlessness. It came mere moments later, her feet levitating smoothly off of the cement as she was lifted into the air, the pair levitating over the swirls that decorated the top of the gates and brought gingerly down with a soft thump on the other side. Cautiously, Serafina's gaze swept the immediate vicinity as the pair successfully managed to 'break and enter' into the local zoo. Really, she thought the zoo would have more...intense security then this. Perhaps she might offer to create a magical barrier for them to prevent thieves beside herself from coming and going. It would be a rather ingenious way to explain her frequent coming and going all whilst keeping such rare ingredients to herself. A small simper crossed her features at the thought, though it soon was tucked away as Raven approached her with a pamphlet quickly being unfolded in her hands.

Serafina shifted closer towards her companion to glance over the colorful illustrations, her brows furrowing in thought as she pointed out the three habitats they needed to visit for the evening. "Yes, peacock feathers should do well, they recently got two baby ocelots so we should be able to find and pick up their baby teeth and I need fur from...these." Serafina pointed towards the habitat of the binturong on the map. "They shed quite a lot so it should be relatively easy to get." Three parts capable of being gotten without any damage done to the animal and no one being any wiser. "We could start at the peacocks, head to the back of the zoo where the ocelots are, and then loop around to the binturongs and that should pop us back out over here." She pointed to the path on their right, "Near the penguins." And, most importantly, the very gates they stood behind at the present moment. It was a relatively solid plan...presuming the animals would cooperate. Most, after all, should be within their indoor habitats for the night, leaving their enclosures relatively free for their perusal. "Come on." Serafina glanced up to easily locate the path towards the peacocks. "This way." She was entirely confident as she led the way through the darkened pathways of the zoo, her eyes peeled for any janiters or night zookeepers that might raise the alarm. After all, they had quite a lot to do before sunrise.
