Too many people? It was a party dear, of course there were a lot of people. [She laughs, a part of her curious of how an illusion could be so solid. She beams at the guards as they walk by, just two friends coming into the city, no big deal.] You definitely have to get out more, all that guard work makes Percy a dull boy. And I know dull is the last thing I'd choose to describe you with.

[She remembers her kiss with him even though this wasn't the real deal next to her, just a placeholder in his image trying to get by. She's more than relieved once they cross into the city that the whole gambit actually worked, and she beams at him with an amused grin.]

He is quite the sight to look at, especially not as serious for once. [Flustered though was always a good look on him. She's careful as she speaks, quiet enough to avoid any eavesdropping.] But I wouldn't ask you to stay like that though, once we're far away enough from the eyes of the guards you're free to drop the act.

[She looks ahead to get her bearings on the alleys and the traffic on the streets. She murmurs to him, bumping him with her elbow once a certain side street catches her eye.] There, that little alley coming up. There shouldn't be anyone keeping an eye on it this time of day.
