Dao was quite reluctant to be part of this operation, as she’s not accustomed to being part of infiltrations directly. She’s not much of a fighter, as well. Aside from the usual monetary incentives, Sira had to bribe her with boxes of Dawnfall powdered tea.
I never realized how expensive green tea have gotten…. no wonder the trade between us and that country is lucrative.The feast will take place during the late morning to noon. Four hours for three targets. Rewriting should only take half an hour.
They will be celebrating the completion of a temple’s construction, which was mostly funded by the merchants. These people are quite conservative and religious. Someone wearing colorful pluderhosen (pansied slops) and stockings in such an occasion will be considered tasteless ー Sira will need to wear something more traditional.
His puffy linen shirt, although technically foreign in origin, will be suitable as an upper garment. Light, breathable, and most importantly, loose fitting ー there’s plenty of space for his lock picking tools.
His lower half will be covered by a large cloth, wrapped around the waist. Essentially loose fitting breeches, just with the final bits tucked into the back. More than enough space for his weapons and lightbending cloak.
No stockings.
No garters.
Just thin sandals, made from straw.
