Rose

"Rose," Aurora said finally. "You are well versed in the art of stealth, correct?"

"Well versed?" Rose laughed. "Lady, I'm the best you've never seen."

"Really? So I imagine that if you wanted to, you could sneak down to the village, obtain some supplies, and return unnoticed."

Rose shrugged. "Well, that's a pretty big if, but yeah, sure, no problem."

"Perfect. In that case, I recommend you for the mission."

Rose sat up. "What?"

"Yes. You will sneak down to the village and obtain clothes for the rest of the party."

"But—"

"Unless, of course, the task is too difficult for you."

Rose hesitated. She was a thief, and a bloody good one. On the other hand, stealth was often more of being unnoticed than being unseen. She wasn't invisible on a crowded street, she was just so much a part of the crowd that no one looked at her twice. She didn't hide in the shadows as much as she convinced people she belonged in the light. Doing that naked, well, that was an added complication.

Not that she could admit that, of course. Naked or not, she was a master thief, and she always came up with something. Hopefully.

"Of course," she said, forcing confidence into her voice. "No problem." Now, if she could only come up with a plan.
