The next morning, Linde woke with a hangover which was unlike any experience she'd ever had before. Her head throbbed and ached, and she was a bit unsteady on her feet at first. Aetri's tea and breakfast helped a bit, but it was really the ice water she drank and the rest she had which were working the best for her right now.

"Sounds good." She replied.

Meanwhile Kyero had remained in his room to wait for an opportune time to begin his work.

Last night, after Linde passed out, he met with Aetri and Lonan to discuss the contingency.

Since there could potentially be multiple exits, Kyero read the directions to the location and memorized the details. The Lion's Head Inn, cellar, secret door leading to an underground stairwell. Today, as it was less likely to be guarded prior to the event, he would sneak in and find out if there were any other such exits. If there were, he would find out where they led and set markers for himself on the rooftops so he'd know where to go.

For Phase One, presuming things went well, Aetri, Linde, and Lonan would come find him after it was over and tell him which exit the winner took and Kyero would bring Aetri with him to fetch Kieran while Linde and Lonan returned to the Pony to wait for them.

For Phase Two, if things did not go well, the plan was for Lonan and Aetri to follow the winner as they dashed away with Kieran while Linde came to fetch Kyero and tell him which exit the winner headed towards so he could give chase and assist. Aetri and Lonan's jobs were to simply follow them and keep them in sight, occasionally doing something to help Kyero find them such as one of them taking to the rooftops, likely Aetri, while the other chased on foot.

But Kyero had to be the one to bring down the winner. If any of the others did, they'd be marked for death if they ever came back and that wasn't something he was willing to allow to happen to them. He was already the Red-Eyed Demon. If anyone would appear before a noble and either take their life or knock them out, he'd make sure it was him who was seen so word would spread that the Red-Eyed Demon interfered and stole the prize. That way Aetri, Linde, Lonan, and Kieran would all be free of any guilt or suspicion.

With the plans set in motion, Linde and Aetri gathered up their resolve and took off for Mariah's estate. Aetri was determined to meet her and find out more about where Kieran was and what she'd been treated like, and she wouldn't take "no" for an answer. But before they left, Linde gave her a cup of tea of her own to say "thanks" for the tea Aetri made her earlier.

Kyero departed locate the Inn and check the underground so he could memorize its layout and report on any other exits that were usable and where they led so everyone would be prepared for later. Lonan, in the meantime, was free to occupy his time however he wished. But Kyero wanted him to come with him later tonight to find out more about the Te'i Sai agent, so staying out of trouble was the order of the day.
