Lowe looked back down at the maps, and gulped. It seemed like there was no getting out of this, unless he could think up another tale to tell. But lying was an affront to the laws of the church, and it just wasn't something he was used to. Lowe smiled, meekly. "Yeah, I guess Thief Guy is right. I mean, maybe you can find a way into the city. I know a way in...but..." he shook his head. "I don't know if it would actually work. I've only ever mapped it out in my head, and I haven't actually tried it. The walls are too high, and the snow never gets high enough to make a foot hold..." Lowe then eyed the wildling woman who seemed to have just joined them from the corner of the room. While normally he'd be squealing over seeing an actual wolf, an idea sprang to his mind that might just make climbing over those walls possible.
The beast had big paws. And wolves are kind of like dogs, so he guessed they could dig just as well. And with claws like that, the snow would be no problem. Maybe, if they played their cards right, they could get into Kafaara. and unseen, hopefully. Lowe could sneak around. If they were going to Kafaara, then maybe while he was there he could sneak around and search for this Minister Plike. But doing so would mean possibly running into one of his sisters, and since he's been gone for so long...he can only imagine the lecture he's going to get when this is all over. But now that he thinks about it, it does seem like a good idea to go there. There was food there, and people who knew him. Maybe a friend could keep his arrival a secret from Minister Florentus. Him most of all. "Going to Kafaara doesn't sound so bad, actually. I used to live in the church, so I know know it fairly well. There's no map for the city but the one in my head, so I say we go to kaafara!" Lowe said, packing his Cartography set back up. He knew where Kafaara was in relation to Vasillius, he'd seen it on maps in the churches libraries hundreds of times. He's traced over the ship's dotted route so many times, he could trace it on the back of his hand right now. Maybe on the way to Kafaara, he could think of a plan to hide from the others, though he had a feeling that'd be much harder with this particular group of trained soldiers, a wolf girl who might also probably be magick somehow, and an obvious thief guy.
(Like seriously, the guy dresses like one of Lowe's story book phantom thief hero's. They're cool, definitely, but he'd never thought he'd actually SEE a phantom thief in real life. The wolf was more realistic to achieve because forests and stuff, but like a Phantom thief? That, like, steals stuff stylishly? He thought those were made up until now. He'd have to tell his sisters he'd met an actual phantom thief when he got home. They probably wouldn't believe him though.)
