Nanu hid her smirk of absolute delight at the way they talked of her and her brother. If only they knew one of those golden children were in their very presence as they made terrible, jovial remarks and told amusing tales. Though her smile was quickly wiped away as she felt Odion's muscular arm wrap around her waist with such familiarity, causing a deep blush of genuine bashfulness to paint her features. Thankfully the cowl of her cloak hid her face. Though she knew it was all an act for Odi's friends, the unexpected kiss he'd bestowed upon her earlier had left her feeling somewhat ... strange around him. She didn't like this unknown feeling, this feeling of no control over herself.<br/><br/>Pulled from her thoughts she reminded herself to keep up with the act and gave a half hearted chortle, leaning into her 'husband'. Placing her hand over his heart she looked up at him though her hood hid her features, saying for Senu's benefit, "of course. This silver tongued charmer of mine is my shield and strength. I would follow him anywhere." Relieved for the distraction, she let him go fetch the tea.<br/><br/>Taking the clay cup from Odion, and taking a deep breath of the fragrant tea. Though she trusted Odi, his hawk eyed companions, not so much, so unfortunately waited until they'd both taken a sip, pretending to take her time to cool the liquid down to drinking temperature. Once deemed safe she took her own thirst quenching sip, offering a polite smile. "Lovely..." she said, taking another sip. Though inwardly she couldn't help but cringe. She had had the tea before, knowing the the delicate tea leaves had been burnt by over brewing. However, after the ride across the desert she wasn't about to complain, drinking the contents until there was nothing but the dregs of leaves at the bottom of the cup.<br/><br/>However, now was not the time to be sitting around having tea. They needed to change clothes, get supplies and find descent shelter to hide out in, preferably away from the three charming desert snakes.<br/><br/>With some set up, charm and descent acting, she manipulated Senu's attention and thoughts into getting the thief to insist she try on one of her many clothes from her shop after Nanu got 'caught' longing after one of the many linen dresses she had, even managing to sweet talk her way into getting Odion to try something on as well or she'd feel to embarrassed. Though it was also an excuse to have him accompany her as she did not trust Senu nor her men. The desire to pilfer a thing or two was great, but if the thieves figured one of their wares missing they would know and their cover blown.<br/><br/>Senu had insisted they change in her room that rested deeper within the building, down a hall.<br/><br/>Once in the room, she closed the door behind them both, taking a deep breath as she leaned against the door for a moment. "We must make headway soon, I have no doubt the guards should be close to arriving if they aren't already here," she said to Odion as she pushed away from the door, looking around the room. Grabbing the sheet from the bed in the middle of the room she began tying the sheet up so that it created a partition for them both. "Let us change into the clothes Senu gave us to try, we can then discuss plans afterwards," she told him. "Oh and I shall take the dagger I threw to you before the banquet. Until we find other weapons, I'll need something besides the small knives I have on me."<br/><br/>With that she ducked behind the partition. "No peeking Odi," she told him as the sheet fell back into place to block his view. Finally she shucked off her warm cloak with a sigh of relief, going for the straps of her white linen dress. The white linen pooled at her sandalled feet, slipping those off as well. Reaching up to her dark hair, she tilted her head to better release the gold beads tied there. Except she froze when she realised she could see Odion's silhouette through the sheet, making her throat go dry for other reasons. Blushing she looked away and concentrated on getting rid of any and all clothing and accessories that screamed royalty.<br/><br/>Slipping into the cream and egg shell blue linen strapless dress, she made sure to bundle up her white linen dress and beads to hide in Abrax's saddle bag later on. Her black hair fell in waves around her shoulders as she poured water from a clay jug into a wooden bowl. Cupping her hands into the water, she washed the final remnants of her heritage from her face, the kohl, gold and grepond paint and makeup making a vibrant swirl in the water. Looking far more like a plain and simple farmer and wife, she chucked the water evidence out the window to the street below making sure not to hit anyone. Placing the bowl back she straightened herself out and faced the partition. "Do I pass the test? I haven't done this in a while so I am still a little rusty." She asked, giving Odion the invitation to finally take a look at her, see if she passed as his wife and simple farmer.
