Eris didn't reply to Dahl's question, she didn't want to give anything else to him. However, she took note of his reaction to her comments about him possibly raising in ranks of this operation was a critical success. Either Dahl was a sincere diehard patriot, which isn't uncommon for Intelligence men, as far as Eris could infer from her experience during officer training, or he was trying to make it seem like he was. Whatever the truth is, it's unlikely that he would truly deny a promotion if it came his way. In case this happened, Eris knew that she could use this to the Squad's advantage.

She made notes of these details in her journal as soon as she was back to the hotel.

The distraction plan ended falling basically on her hands, along with Linda and Ezequiel… potentially. Eris felt an enormous urge of kicking herself for ever suggesting a plan like that but she knew that it was the easiest way to victory. She got a basic picnic basket and some snacks, bread, cheese, wine, etc. from the hotel -adding it to Lord Barst's tab, of course- before taking a shower and dressing in proper clothes for an outdoor trip.

Eris didn't pick any weapon when the Squad was given the change to choose their gear. Even a single pistol would bust her cover and certainly get her killed if their foes found about it. Eris didn't want to look like she was getting cold feet now, so she wouldn't be the one to change the plan she suggested.

When the time came, she was ready and moving into the proximity of the target building. Good thing that the wine she got was good enough to alleviate her worries.
