Sabine's eyes lit up in realisation. "I did not think much on how else to approach it but upfront. Perhaps I might learn more by entering without telling people who I really am. At least at first." She grinned. "Thank you for the idea."

Her smile faded as she opened her mouth to take another breath. "I will just have to try to avoid anyone who attended the feast not too long ago. I hope I can remember their faces."

Sabine stopped as she almost brought her fingers to her mouth to think. She looked down at the ink smudging her fingertips and rubbed them together. "I have an idea." She turned her eyes up to Meesei. "If I coloured my hair, do you think I would still be recognisable by the officials who came to the feast?"
