He'd not had to deal with them himself. The Petrovs had a vault here but it wasn't one of the deep ones, since most of their money was kept elsewhere and what was stowed away at Gringotts was intended to be for convenience and hours of underground cavern travel through trapped and bewitched mine shafts tended to slow one down when one was in a hurry.

"I thanked her and said I was sure I'd be more impressed once I actually see it, instead of just the pictures in the gallery." Valko paraphrased, glancing back towards the goblin. But for now it was on to more interesting things.

The pair of them only spent ten or so minutes through the mint, neither of them needing to spend too long watching or reading or listening to the goblins to get the gist of what was going on, and Valko was about to suggest they go ahead and slip out when a goblin ran past yelling.

...... now that was interesting.

".... that goblin is yelling about a thief." He told Jessa quietly, wondering if she was interested to go see what was going on or if she wanted to casually go back the way they came. Nothing to do with them but also potentially interesting. He'd defer to the prefect on that one.

Sphinxes.

That got her attention, long after they'd entered the mint and were looking about. Sphinxes were dead interesting and while there was a certain thrill that came with seeing dragons up close, the temptation to pit one's wit against that of a sphinxes held infinitely more intrigue for the Ravenclaw. It was like an encounter with the bronze knocker but the stakes were higher.

"When we do slip away, can we try to find the sphinx? Would that be a probl--we'll have to find one this summer." They still had plans, yes....? Even with her tentative ones to return to Brazil.

She did see the goblin, just as she'd turned to him to suggest they make their great escape now that they were putting the mint behind them. Thief?

Huh.

"This....sounds like it could potentially end up being my problem......" She considered aloud. Seconds later, another goblin going on about students being searched confirmed that. "Looks like we're gonna find out either way." And if that was the case, there was no point delaying the inevitable and starving her curiosity. Jessa took hold of his hand, lightly tugging him in the direction the goblin had run off to. "Who'd be dumb enough to steal from Gringotts?"
