"Never," Dorrance said the moment Fen suggested not looking out for her. She looked at her firmly. "We're in this together. Besides, I have a few tricks up my own sleeves."
She'd give Ren a small wink before they proceeded.
She giggled at Ren's remark for making up for tonight with another week of sleep and responded by squeezing her tight.
The happy atmosphere would soon turn serious though as they entered the halls under an illusion. It was eerily quiet and dark. The moon from earlier was now covered with a miasma of clouds making it hard to make out the hallway.
The two would cautiously make their way, avoiding noise where they could. They thankfully reached their own bedroom and found nothing there.
Dorrance closed the door and let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness..." she whispered. "Now...for our equipment and healing you."
Dorrance hurriedly moved to their suitcases and pulled out a leather briefcase. In it, Ren would see a series of plants and vials and powders and bottles of potions. She'd hand onr over to Ren and place it in her palm.
"Please drink this to heal while I get ready." she said in an almost business fashion. The vial held bright red fluid and small bits of what looked like the flesh of berries.
Dorrance, meanwhile, took another suitcase with her clothes and would pull out a corset with multiple pockets. Ren would notice the handles of what looked like darts andthrowing knives. Dorrance also took out a tunic similar to what Ren had seen her wear in her grave digging to which she started placing more potions and what looked like small round baubles.
Dorrance then slipped out of her robe and put on a pair of trousers, almost ignoring she had stripped down in front of Ren. It wasn't until she was almost done fastening her corset beneath that she paused and blushed. Realizing Ren might find all her getup weird. Her mouth turned wavy and she squeaked.
"I...um...like to be ready for anything too..." she said before covering her face. "Please...please don't think this is weird!"
