Lunise listened on as she removed and folded away her uniform. She pulled the black dress over her head when Meesei finished.

"Very well," she said while pulling her sleeves up her arms. "I wore this dress last to infiltrate a cult of Vaermina. So I think it shall be just unpresentable enough." She switched to a quieter tone and gestured to the undone cords that sutured the back of her dress. "Would you mind fastening me, Meesei?"

Standing in front of the mirror, she carefully let down her hair and found a brush to even it out. "I wish I could say the rest of your advice is helpful," she continued. "So far you have told me much about what is [i]not[/i] present. How should I behave if not as I normally do?"

Acknowledging Marcaille with a nod, Fendros spoke to Lorag. "It goes without saying that Sabine and Ahansha will need to be in and out as quickly as they can. Every second is more risk of getting found out. Under cover of night, I would have Sabine survey the area from above, flying over only once to avoid suspicion. She can then meet Ahnasha nearby and plan an approach." Fendros turned his eyes to Ahnasha. "You'll need to know exactly where to plant those documents. Inside luggage, hidden from plain sight but easily noticeable by Yerig. I think he will be our best shot. Only try planting the book in Do'rhajul's belongings if Yerig is not an option. If you can do neither, then get out of there and we will try something else. If there is any indication that they know someone is nearby, back away. Sabine might be able to open a portal out of there but there is no guarantee, we shall have to ask her."

Fendros straightened. "As for the rest of us, we shall have to be in a position to intervene should the alarm be raised. Running in beast form to pick up Ahnasha and Sabine and running away may be the fastest way, though there may be a better way to do it. Forcing Do'rhajul to run away with an overwhelming force is another option, though only if they have not captured either infiltrator. And it may take longer to react. Some means of quietly communicating when Sabine and Ahnasha need help may be needed, but throwing a fire spell into the sky would alert us all the same."

"I'm really very sorry for interrupting," Janius said. "I just have something on my mind. Marcaille?" Janius spoke across the table. "Is there a way for us to track Do'rhajul with that ritual you mentioned?"
