It's time to meet with Lena.

I went to meet with Lena alone, after receiving instruction from Anna about where a secret place would be. I brought my knife, and my coat, and a few flasks of special sauce that Anna squeezed out while removing the inconvenient trigger. I'd set up a plan, and had readied a contingency or two.

The hunter was excited, and so was the merchant, both my halves coming together to enjoy the increasing ease and rewards. Both sides liked low-risk and high-rewards. Sneaking through the dark, finding the hidden paths, and coming upon a secret place. All of it was easy. I made it to the location with time to spare.

I'd been sent a semi-hidden spring where the farmgirls liked to bathe in peace. It was, according to Anna, the most likely place to find Lena. I'd only been waiting for twenty minutes when another figure came into the clearing. She wasted no time dressing down and jumping into the spring; perhaps her mind had made an excuse for her late night wanderings.

I let my eyes transform and the night became lighter to me. I walked confidently towards the form bathing an considered how I wanted to do it. It would be pretty easy to dose her and take her thusly, but it would also be pretty ease to take her by ****.
