I am myself, if I were a shy artist who came down from the mountains in search of a patron for my art. It is hard to lie about a name when so many already know it.
[ sucks to stay in one place, rly. ]
We will go tonight. Free dinner and wine and we will make good conversation with this elf. Do you know anyone who draws?
I can find someone who draws. Tell me what they should be drawing, and then do not worry about this. You must work on acting shy. It does not come naturally to you.
Who am I? Myself, the sister of a shy artist. Will I be anything more?
You will be yourself, my trusted sister and confidante. When we talk to him about his walls, you will have to help me convince him that mountains would be best. Then we find an artist to paint the mountains, and take a little bit of the money. Obviously the dinner is for us only.
That will be easy. Mountains will be best. Who does not like to look at mountains? They are breath-taking and they are dangerous and they are beautiful. And I am sure you-- [or, someone] --will paint them very well.
I am looking forward to the dinner. I am already hungry.
We should try not to take his silverware, even if it would fetch a good price. He said he would pay a great sum of money for the painting, so it is best we don't give him any reason to be suspicious.
Mmmmmmmm. [An annoyed hum.] I complimented your Perendale silverware already. I said it was the prettiest. You know this. You are not fun when you decide you are sensible.
What if I do not take anything, but, if we are eating something and those very very small forks are there, and one disappears--that could happen on its own. They are so small. They must always be falling between floorboards.

[Although having said that... and considering the alternative options.... does she want the opposite? Hard choice to make.]
