But, the disguise is pretty good, and so Noriko takes a little detour to get some information first. Thankfully, the guards aren't ambitious enough to question a Dragon Blood, especially not one of some breeding and probable command over them.<br/><br/>And when she asks a bit, probably drilling them to make sure that they know what's going on, they answer. Double shifts, bound demons (there's a little shudder here), and even a pair of Immaculate Masters, Four Mountains Unmoved and Four Fields Planted. The masters are in the little pavilion now, and only they and the Satrap are allowed within a certain distance of the room.<br/><br/><br/>Given how much information Noriko has, even the crabbiest of people would be hard pressed to fault her for lateness. Sarasala isn't the crabbiest of people, so he says exactly jack and shit.
