Oki nodded firmly. "Under the carriage, or being looked at as a porter, simply not being seen, while being seen." She snorted softly.
"The nobles rarely carry their own wares, their own materials, in fact they barely seem to even carry their own clothing. It's another way." She nodded to Cid at once. "That's right. First and foremost is knowing them." She gestured to the map. "One large way in, smaller way in alongside it in the front, and a side entrance." She drew a nail over the perimeter of the square. "Windows at the upper level, not the lower. They're either the tilt kind or the crank-moved kind, depending on their size." She tapped the center of the square. "The roof is stone and slate, from what I could gather - most of them are in that area." She also took a stylus and marked a coup[le of points. "The plans show these as light sources, but you know how it is. GUard likely as not carrying personal lanterns or similar."
She moved the map again, drew a nail around and circled a nearby rectangle. "Local barracks is there, usual unit of guard, about 24, from what my sources told me. It's a quarter that sees very little military action, but that doesn't mean they won't come at speed if someone sounds the alarm." She nodded again. "Let's not let them see anything but a pompous noble in a face scarf out to stick his fingers in the unwatched chest, shall we?"
She laughed a bit. "And I apologize for my outburst, my friends. This is my first real hunt since I was taken and bound, you see. And part of this is taking back things they took from me. I am what I am, and some part of me will always look forward to a hunt."
