Snippet #2767359

Jana tapped her lip thoughtfully as Nellie - the cheetah country girl - spoke. "An interesting proposal," the she-wolf replied. "However, if we're trying to get out of here without getting caught or tracked down, don't you think it would be rather foolhardy to show our faces at the train station like that?" Before Nellie could reply, Jana held up a hand to interrupt her. "But I digress. The train, in retrospect, sounds like a much better idea, considering our fugitive prince's condition." Pausing to fork a clawed finger at Prince Everett Thane, who at the moment appeared to be glowering at them both with more than a bit of contempt (Must not be a people person, Jana thought), she continued. "Now, there are two options I see that could work." Jana held up two fingers. "One option is to sneak on. This would be a pretty easy feat for me - I do it all the time; however, I'm not sure how well you guys are at that sort of thing. Even if you do know a thing or two about infiltration, it would be a bit of a risk. The second option is to disguise ourselves. This could also be easy but risky, because we can dress ourselves up all we want, but some sharp-eyed guard could give us a hard scrutinizing and immediately recognize Everett here. Also, you said we only have two tickets; one of us would have to stay behind." Pausing to take a breath, Jana then continued. "Regardless of which option we choose, we'd still have to brave this cesspool of a city filled with guards ordered to - most likely - kill us on sight. I only have a vague idea of where the train station actually is, so that's another risk. In short, it's one hell of a gauntlet run, but if we stay here we'd be much more likely to die. And we have to get out. But if we are to do so successfully we need a plan. However, I think since this is Everett's life we're talking about here, that it should be he who decides." Jana then turned towards the prince expectantly, waiting for an answer.
