[quote]"A practical suggestion, though I wonder if such a visible military presence might not draw more attention to our activities? The sight of additional Legion forces might make the locals wonder what's important enough to warrant such protection."[/quote]
Alexios held a slight frown, though he appreciated the diplomatic tact of the Dark Elf. [color=ed1c24]"What do you suggest, then?'[/color]

[quote]"Perhaps we could combine your approach with something more subtle? The Legion's presence could serve as a visible distraction, while some of us... Work more discreetly to ensure the delegates' safety? My experience with illusion magic could help us move through the city unnoticed, if needed."[/quote]
Alexios listened as he rested his free hand on the hilt of his sword. He was much inclined to agree; as it was one of his first thoughts. 
[color=ed1c24]'I could approach the mayor on behalf of the Legion, say there's intel on remnants of the Mythic Dawn still hiding in the region,'[/color] he pondered aloud, [color=ed1c24]'that would perhaps justify the active Legion presence in County Bruma.' [/color]

[quote]"You seem familiar with Bruma's defenses. What's your assessment of the most discrete routes through the city? I've spent some time there, but a Legion perspective would be invaluable."[/quote]
The Legionary took pause to consider Bruma in his mind's eye. Already he could see the frosty reception of the Nord populace.
[color=ed1c24]'The city still remains vigilant of strangers, ever since the Oblivion Crisis. If you enter officially, you can expect to be scrutinised and noted down in the records,'[/color] Alexios explained, bringing his free hand up to idly stroke his chin, [color=ed1c24]'There were caverns that ran beneath the city, but they were sealed up for security. The only way in is through the gates.' [/color]

Alexios then looked down at his helm and had a thought. [color=ed1c24]'Perhaps we could use both a distraction and disguise,'[/color] Alexios added, [color=ed1c24]'I could requisition Legion gear, and your group can pose as part of the efforts to secure the city.'[/color]
