Weaving her way through the diverse crowd that filled every spot of the bar was good practice for Chandra, whose bare waist and belly were tempting targets for casual groping, and bare feet vulnerable to the smallest of splinters in the wood. Her focus was constantly shifting between the floor and the mob, from person to person, in order to anticipate their movements. For the most part, no one even noticed she’d gone by, and when someone suddenly did turn at her due to reasons unknown, she adapted quickly to the new state of her personal game of hiding in plain sight.<br/><br/>Chandra was by no means unnoticeable in her revealing, bright-purple clothes and their golden, highly ornamental trims and patterns. To cover her bust, she wore a sleeveless silk top that had a very low, V-shaped neck and was cropped well above her navel to leave her midriff as bare as possible. Her bottom was protected by tight silk briefs of the same set, so high-cut that the entire length of her gorgeous legs was left completely exposed all the way up to her hips.<br/><br/>The two silk garments were all she had on her right now, but in her backpack upstairs, there was a wide variety of clothes—most of which just as light as these—for all kinds of practical occasions. In there was also her precious set of dark brown leather armor, which consisted of a pair of over-knee boots, arm-long gloves, and a small chest piece and pants. Overall, the armor didn’t offer her much protection other than for climbing, jumping, and crawling in rough environments, but she preferred to dress lightly and rely more on her skills anyway.<br/><br/>Not finding her contact—who she was sure to be late already—Chandra ordered another fun drink from under the counter. It was pink and fizzy, and tingled on her tongue.<br/><br/>“Ah… Better than the first one,” she noted at the goblin barmaid who had handed her the glass, and took another sip.<br/><br/>“It’s exactly the same.”<br/><br/>Hearing the words, Chandra paused and pursed her lips in baffled surprise. The drink really did taste better, and she wondered exactly how much better it would become after this one… or the third… She hesitated, but handed the nearly full glass back at the goblin, and mumbled, “On another thought…”<br/><br/>“You’re still gonna pay for that,” the little green woman remarked, and drew a couple more coins out of the bag that Chandra had given her for safekeeping, lacking a place to hold it herself.<br/><br/>“Yes, but not twice.”<br/><br/>The goblin cursed quietly at the overly observant lady, and reluctantly returned the coins.<br/><br/>“You know I’ll check it in the end anyway,” Chandra reminded the barmaid, who settled for a sigh and then did her best to just ignore Chandra’s presence. The thief grinned; it was always fun to outsmart a greedy goblin.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
