Suspicious sightseeing

"Question, Captain, but what makes you think that Princess Lyra would be hiding in The Capital City?" Drake asked quietly as the trio walked past several naked citizens, each one doing their best not to blush as they tried to blend in. "Isn't this literally the worst place for her to hide?"

"An excellent point, Stamos." Skylar whispered in response. "However, if Princess Lyra was smart enough to lead a rebellion that successfully overthrew her own family, then she'd be smart enough to know that, once The Rebellion betrayed her, they'd know she wouldn't be foolish enough to stay in the city."

"Makes sense... In theory." Drake admitted with a shrug.

"And what better place to hide from your enemies than in plain sight?" Skylar asked rhetorically. At the silence of her two teammates, she nodded. "Exactly! Now, the question is where would she hide?"

As Skylar looked around, she couldn't help but notice that Millie had been quiet ever since they stripped off to blend in with the populace. And looking over her shoulder, she noticed that the chubby chef was hanging her head while holding her arm, staring down at her feet. "Something bothering you, Clarkson?"

"Huh?" Millie asked, snapping out of her slump as she looked up at her two companions... And fought back a hurt whimper as she saw Drake look away again. "Oh, uh, just hunky dory, Captain." She lied.

"Clarkson, you and I both know that you stammer whenever you lie."

"N-no I don't!" Millie retorted, still lying through her teeth. "Everything's... Fine! Just peachy!"

"Look," Skylar began as she stopped briefly to turn to Millie, "I admit, I didn't know that they changed this one detail about Soran-Kovian culture. So, if you're still upset about being buck ass nude -"

"Of course I'm still upset about that!" Millie hissed quietly. "I begged you to let me stay behind, but you needed the both of us for some reason. And now I'm standing in front Drake, ass naked, and the one person I actually care about seeing me like this is completely -" she looked up and blushed while letting out a squeak as she realized that Drake had looked over at hearing his name, "I... Uh... That is..."

While Millie was trying to fumble out an excuse for her slip up, Skylar looked up to see a naked woman in her mid twenties wearing a hood over her head as she looked around cautiously before slipping into an alleyway past a female guard who was flirting with a woman selling peanuts from a cart.

"Suspicious activity at ten o'clock." Skylar said to her subordinates, "Stay here. I'm gonna check it out."

"What if you get caught?" Millie asked, glad that the subject was being changed.

"I'm well prepared for that." Skylar replied. With a blush, she added, "Just don't ask me how."

Before either could entertain the question, Skylar dashed towards the alleyway after the hooded figure, having an idea of who it was under the hood...
