Colors lightly shook his head. "[i]Just[/i] sitting and watching for too long would be unusual. Hiring them is the simplest option, certainly, but strictly speaking, no, you don't have to. We'll have to be creative. Delay properly to blend in as much as we can. It would be easier if I could buy skooma, but Fendros gave his orders. Only thing left is the prostitutes, so I don't have that many options. You could both buy a bit of time if you order an ale. They're stronger than normal to try to get their patrons drunk faster, but one of them won't get you there by itself. Wouldn't order a second, though."

Colors turned his head towards the curtained-off stalls in the hall of to the right. "If we can get into one of those unnoticed, we can hide for a while. Probably until our contact comes in. I could get in by hiring one of them, and make an excuse for resting there for a bit. Just got to figure out how to get you two in."

Despite how he behaved the previous night, Colors was not actually encouraging Sabine to indulge in what the establishment had to offer, as he intended to. He seemed to actually be sympathetic to Sabine and Kaleeth's discomfort.
