Sabine nodded rapidly. She wanted to pad out all the time they could have before going into hiding.

The next few minutes were spent with Colours ferrying a couple of cups of ale to Sabine and Kaleeth where they sat. They nursed the drinks for as long as they could, avoiding the glances of those around them. Along with some hushed idle chatter, Sabine conveyed her plan to Kaleeth by way of whispering in her ear.

It may have seemed odd at first for them to be so close -- and Sabine was certainly comfortable around Kaleeth -- but their veiled intimacy would play into 'sharing' a hire.

Eventually, they were nearing the end of their mugs. Sabine circled the bottom of her cup against the floor slowly with one finger. They could wait for another prostitute to approach them, but Colours' approach would make more sense if he took the initiative.

"You go first," Sabine said to Colours after they had been sitting quietly for long enough to prove that they had nothing left to talk about.
