Oki looked from Donnie to Cid, her demeanor once more focused on the task at hand. "If you do it so much that it becomes obvious, you may make it paradoxically, more effective - since you're someone that even if you were in fact, Duke Hardcheese of the Third Tower of Republican Meatheads, Seventh of the Name - you might be expected to do a bit of subterfuge beyond a piece of cloth wrapped about your eyes." She gave another small smile, this one looking oddly - a touch hungry. "That sounds like it may work. Once you are in there, you know what to look for - and what looks worth carrying as well as my particular objective as well."
She let out a long breath.
"Getting there is a challenge, but not a tremendous one."
She shifted the sheets of paper and showed a map, and a space off away from the bustle of a city, just outside of it.
"This is the place. The ground's relatively level and there's a surprising amount of forest nearby and a road - wide of enough and used for traffic, but certainly not a thoroughfare."
"My thinking is to approach with some stealth, especially in a carriage or something else covered or the like. The treeline is good, but might be watched... Hm."
She flitted through some notes. "Hm. The next delivery is in a month, so that won't be a good cover."
She looked down, hands on the table and raised her head again, smiling - this time there was absolutely no mistaking the look in her eyes or the set of her jaw. She looked fully predatory in that moment.
"Gentlemen. Let's lighten the Empire's coffers, shall we?"
