She shook her head. "I might have a needle and thread, that's about it. Well, and more than a little magic. And when it comes down to it, I've slept with worse. Hells, you've already slept with one of them, for that matter. No judgment intended, of course, it was for a good cause."

"Yes, and I chose to do it, but I won't be compelled. I could have walked away if I wished to. As far as I'm concerned, the same applies today. Besides, it might be rather more difficult to keep up a different persona whilst having sex. Even I might have difficulty using a different voice whilst in the throes of passion."
She realised that was one area in which she had never actually adopted a different identity, and it seemed dangerous to do so now.
"We'll see what happens. I'm wondering, though, what the purpose of this club really is. It sounds a little sinister to me."

"It absolutely sounds sinister. I would not be surprised to find more slaves, if not worse, whatever that could be." She looked into Silvia's glamered eyes, and explained, as much for her own benefit as the bard's, "But we need to remember, this is reconnaissance. We'll right the wrongs, but we can't do it tonight, alone."

"I know. I'll be careful, I promise, and I'll keep up this vapid persona for the outing, so maybe you should do most of the sensible talking while I smile and look pretty and encourage the men to talk as much as they like. But I'm not going to let them treat me like a prize, either."

"Sounds like a plan, dear. Just play a tease for the time being. They get too handsy, I'll have them leap out of the carriage at full speed or something."

"Oh good. That would be a sight!" Silvia grinned. "Shall we go back out there?"

"Yes, I suppose we ought to." She looked in the mirror, adjusting her hair and dress. "Let's. Be careful with the wine, though. Who knows what they might have slipped in it."

"Yes." She wasn't sure Canelo was that way inclined but she thought Distennian might be. "I'll drink sparingly, if at all." She adjusted her own hair and led the way back into the restaurant.

Robert is still gone when they come back but Gregori looks like a squirrel almost as he holds his wine glass with both hands before taking a drink. He grins at the pair. “It’s almost here,” he said. Jenna was having a wine with a young man as a man all in red opened the door in the back and waved. “Oh, that’s them now!” He pointed to a server. “A bottle to go please!”

Ceutinde was a bit miffed to miss out on actually eating, but followed the men. "How long is the ride?"

Silvia hoped Robert would come back. She didn't really know him but she was certain he was at least a little more trustworthy than his companion. Her heart began to beat faster with nervous excitement.
She pretended to take a sip of her wine then smiled at Gregori. "We're ready to go," she said.

The server offered them a tray of hors d’oeuvres for the ride and the trio head out the back door where a polished mahogany carriage awaits. A coachman holds the door open, but they notice that, as the name implies, there are no windows at all. The inside is cushioned with expensive linens and Gregori steps aside to let them in. “Good day miladies,” the coachman said. He looked like an elf but was considerably shorter than any adult elf Ceutinde had ever seen, with darker skin and white-tinted hair. “The carriage is silenced for the outside so if you need any assistance use the provided rope please. It takes about an hour to get where we’re going.” He helped them in then headed to the front.

Before getting in, Ceutinde asked, "May I have a word with my own coachman first? Simply tell him to take a message back to not wait up for us tonight."

Gregori and the coachman seemed surprised at the question. “Of course m’lady. You’re a guest, I promise even the longest tenured members of the club go through this same process every time they visit,” the driver said.

It looked like a very fancy coach. Silvia settled in and looked around, hoping there would be a light of some kind.
