[hr]

The numerous eyes of her fellow Witches were not lost in Carina, as she could practically feel the stares as she marched on, continuing to make no real effort to conceal herself, perhaps in a deliberate manner if one was feeling less than charitable. Fae smuggling was not the kind of crime you just quietly resolved, that was the kind of thing you made an example of. Even if they were not the most experienced or seasoned, if they couldn't handle some smugglers and their tricks then they were hardly worth their place in the Society. Still, before long one of the others at least spoke up, asking that they at least try to be stealthy. Glancing back, the one who spoke up was practically silent as she moved, a quite respectable hat and practical attire for striking out. She was dressed for the night, Carina noted, and shrugged idly in response to the suggestion.

Continuing to stay at the lead of the group and waiting on the Lantern to narrow down where they were going, another one chimed in, one who had a familiar out scouting ahead of them. That suited her fine as well, she never had much interest nor care for having any sort of familiar, she'd rather focus on herself. Apparently they were already known to the neighborhood already knew they were around, a snort of amusement from Carina in response to the information. Practically speaking it would be a shock if they weren't known, even if none of them stood out a gaggle of witches on the hunt would stick out like a sore thumb, regardless of how subtle some of them wanted to be. Too many people in a group at this late at night to not stand out at least a little bit. The next one to speak up also confirmed what was painfully obvious, that they were well known to any sort of troublesome element interested in a late night band of women wandering about.

At that point the Lantern indicated an alleyway, and Carina's hand was halfway up to her sword as her gaze adjusted to the dark. All wrong, as far as someone should be if they were just some lookout. Long arms, short legs, couldn't make out a proper neck and head, had to be some sort of homonculi the smugglers got their hands on. She didn't quite draw her weapon yet, glancing at the other Witches since they were a team, regardless of how she felt about the situation, and since none of them had particularly gotten on her nerves yet she could at least play nice still.

[color=lightblue]"So, shall we get that out of our way, or maybe one of you sneaky girls want to find a place to watch the show first?"[/color]
