"You'll have the file and a dagger. I'll give you a pair of my hairpins if we can't find lockpicks. They don't know how strong and dangerous you are, so they won't take any special precautions against you," Lenore assures her, tone coaxing and eyes pleading.

The door opens as Greta returns, and Lenore takes a step away, turning to see what her maid has brought. Two sheathed daggers and a heavy iron file, which she holds out.

"No lockpicks?" Lenore asks, as she takes the items.

Greta shakes her head. "Too specialized. The blacksmith said he'd have to make them up special."

Nodding, Lenore turns and offers the three items to Gideon while Greta picks up another bundle to take out to the sleigh.
