Meesei readily complied, walking up behind Lunise to help her with her dress, which in turn allowed her to speak more softly into her ear. "Well, to begin, you need not worry greatly about your appearance. Your hair does not need to be perfectly brushed, nor does your skin need to be blemish free. Our clans, as you might expect, are a fair amount more...rough than a Dominion city. That is not to say our people do not care about their appearance, but we do not expect perfection. In particular, we do not have many of the luxuries that city dwellers enjoy. As for behavior, I do not think you need to worry too much about that for this evening in particular. Local customs do of course still play a role in how a clan tends to behave, so Karl will not be surprised if you are somewhat different if he thinks you are from one of the southern clans. I suppose you need only worry about giving any suspicious reactions if one of us does something you might find unusual."

Once the dress was sufficiently tightened, Meesei was recovered enough to open up a portal once more. She gave Lunise another quick, encouraging kiss, then went through the process of opening up the return portal. This would be the first time that Lunise would be setting foot anywhere in the clan aside from Meesei's closed-off, interior room, and the sight she would see would be nothing short of breathtaking. 

Meesei took Lunise's hand before stepping through. The spot she had chosen was outside the Silent City, though the city was still in-view in the distance. They were just off of one of the roads, in between two of the towering glowing mushrooms, with many smaller ones all around them. The cavern was darker over all than the surface, of course, but that only served to enhance the veritable light show of mushrooms and other fungus that permeated the cavern. Even the ceiling of the cavern had many glowing spots, almost like stars above. The sound of rushing water would lead Lunise's eyes to a waterfall that was also within view, which also seemed to glow under the lighting from the mushrooms. While Meesei and her pack had become used to it overtime, Blackreach was still an entirely unique sight in Tamriel.

Marcaille gave a hesitant nod. "Well, yes, probably. Haven't needed to do a ritual like that since I was just a fresh-faced young woman, but I think I can remember the details. But like I said, you'd have to have something of his to use as the focus of the spell. Could be something he touched, a patch of fur, a body part. Anything [i]his[/i]."

"I've got a shield." Lorag remarked. "Not his shield, but one of his team members dropped a big tower shield when they fled. Would that work?"

"Hmm, well I could track that member of his team, at least. So yes, that ritual could help us, if we needed it." Marcaille answered.

The plan did seem to be developing, but Ri'vashi still seemed concerned. "That could be useful if they escape again, but we already know where they are. Ri'vashi is just worried about these contingencies to keep our infiltrators safe. This one may be no mage, but her forces have utilized these kinds of life detection enchantments before, to great effect. If Do'rhajul has set them up at all properly, which she guarantees he has, then we will not be able to get anyone close enough to help in a true emergency. Against such a dangerous foe, we need to have someone ready to help in seconds, not minutes. Magic might be able to hide one or two people from the enchantments, but if we get too many living things close to those enchantments, then they will be alerted."
