Well, there would be no harm asking if there was a parasol on the premises that you could borrow, Hell, even buy. It would be worth it not to worry about Hide-Eyes failing on you.
"Oh, pardons, but there wouldn't perchance be a parasol that I could ... buy or borrow, is there?"
"No."
Not particularly talkative, this one.
"I - ah, I see. Incidentally, are there ... any bonnets or manner of hats that are fit to wear with these dresses that I might buy?"
She looks at you oddly.
"Would you like to commission one?"
"Uh, no, not - I was hoping to have one to complete the uniform before I present myself to the family. I just never thought to ask if they had any here, when - "
"Accessories are all made to order."
Damn it all. You might have expected as much though. Now that you think about it, perhaps Cassandra's might have appropriate hats and umbrellas and articles of that nature - if you could only be sure that the rain would worsen on your way over. Perhaps ... is it possible that the way out of this Trial - assuming that this is one - is to simply sit tight, to show that even under the threat of discovery by the Inquisition and the pressures of time you are still willing to make the effort to show your gratitude, and ultimately find some way to repay Hortingea, as you promised yourself you would?
Regardless, you need to make a decision. Stay or go.

> Head out, and simply keep your head down. If something does somehow go wrong you should be able to duck into an alley and wait for the cast to spool back up again.
> While waiting around on such a tight schedule is hard, this might be your best play here - in addition to the rain going away, so too might the Inquisition. Of course, you have no guarantees ...
