A rapier is a bit big, sir. Not that I can't handle big. [Degenerate eyebrow quirk.] But it would be tricky to sneak it in without anyone noticing, like. Lockpicks I can do easy.

And might I say, sir, knowing that you are proficient in the skill of my trade makes me admire you all the more. Picking a lock from the inside, when you can't see what you're doing and 'ave got all the wrong angle, is a tricky business even for a skilled thief.
