Saran nodded her agreement as she made a few trips back and forth between the kitchen and the, enlisting the monk's help with the large variety of dishes. When they finished, she bade Keystone to wait a bit as she too vanished into the hovel. A few minutes later she walked out. Gone was the simple outfit of a serving girl she wore during the evening, replaced by a bright red robe Keystone was all too familiar with. She graced him with a smile, as if inviting to hear his opinion about her new look, and took to the monk by the arm, practically dragging him out of the hovel with surprising speed. Outside, Keystone noticed that she was half a head taller than him, when in the hovel they were about the same height.

Saran winked to some of the working girls still out on the market, many of them gone off with paying clients for the night.
"A good battle is always good for business," Saran said, looking up at the sky. The day was coming to an end as the moon was halfway up the sky and the streets were mostly empty, save for an unusual amount of patrols for the time of day. Several gave Keystone a suspicious glance as the pair passed, but bowed and scurried away whenever Saran's gaze met theirs.

The Red Wizard Enclave's massive doors were closed and the building was dark, showing no signs of life. Saran approached the door and knocked. A scuffle was heard inside, and a small, so far unseen slit opened up. A pair of eyes that Keystone readily recognized as Meriv's, oogled the outside:
"We're closed, come back tomor-" the words died away in the man's throat as Saran bent down to look at him. There was an audible sign of exasperation as the doors opened up and Saran led Keystone inside. Meriv quickly bolted the door behind them and scurried around the pair to his usual desk.

"So, Master Keystone, how may I help you? You have important business to come at this time of hour, yes?" he purred as sweet as honey. Saran's face was a perpetual smile as she nodded to Keystone and crossed her arms, standing behind the monk. Meriv periodically glanced at the tall woman, trying and failing to hide something akin to...fear?
