After an arguably impressive number of minutes, during which the shopmistress seemed almost to be making a point of busying herself with ledgers behind the counter, some<em>very</em>distinct climatic vocalizations issued through the indigo curtain.<br/><br/>Kass would be well done with her magics, though, by the time anyone - or rather, anytwo - emerged. The couple was nearly identical in their tan complexion and chestnut hair; his in a tight ponytail and hers flowing long and intricately braided down half her back. Their clothes were of the sort which, judging from Kass's movements about Arabel so far, were ubiquitously in fashion among the well to-do, and rather commonplace on the streets. She wore a light scarf about her bare shoulders, and a hip-hugging robin's egg blue gown beneath; he charcoal-black slacks and jacket over a vest and ash-white shirt. Their faces were attractive, yet in a somewhat typical and forgettable way, like if one had invited a number of beautiful people to a ball, and then selected each gender's averages amongst various facial dimensions.<br/><br/>The man's gray eyes had been fixated on Kass since he emerged, but then they went to his partner's hands, and arced over to the counter. The shopmistress there was staring at their empty hands for a moment and balking - but her face abruptly changed to a smile and deferential bow as the lady slung a small pouch onto the counter, its arc following the path of the man's eyes a moment before. "'It's on underneath," the lady winked to the shop mistress, "Fit so well it left no room for that coin-pouch, so keep it all." She licked her lips, her arm draped over the man's as they moved for the door.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Nice magic combo. Kass would probably want to step out of earshot (like outside the ship then back in) to spellcast (so the verbal components aren't overheard); am assuming she does.<br/><br/>link doesn't work for me (shibari one didn't either) - not necessarily, but fyi<br/><br/>My blurb above about Disguise Self was wrong, it can affect gear - I misread the tactile/sound thing as saying it didn't affect gear at all. (But Alter Self is still better, since Disguise Self allows a Will save to disbelieve, so I'm guessing this didn't affect your decision.)<br/>
