Sunrise leads them through the Sun District streets in silence. Guards patrol this area less heavily than the outer districts, but are more ruthless when they find trouble; she avoids them with a slumkid's instincts.
It's not long before she leads them to a house many of them have visited before, large and fine though not ostentatious by Sun District standards. Quietly she shuffles everyone inside, only then turning to see a very startled woman watching them.
Sunrise clears her throat. "Everyone," she starts, "this is my mentor, Veshti Selmer. Veshti, of course you know Commissioner Rivvers?" She nods at the man around whose waist her arm is wrapped, taking refuge in etiquette in the face of such an absurd situation. "And you may remember my friends: Sithani Molana, Glynlen Liadon, Jarek and Thimblewhick Riptide, and Ka'Ri af Osprem. And may I introduce Thresen of the City Guard," here she nods at the unconscious body being carried by Jarek, "who tried to attack and abduct us tonight, as well as Gwynnestri Siannodel..." She trails off as she notices the last member of their group, nonchalantly bringing up the rear as if he'd never been missing. "And, um." She clears her throat. "The infamous pirate Korogur."
She turns back to Veshti, her expression carefully blank. "I'll just show everyone to my rooms for now, shall I? And it might not be a bad idea to lock up for the night."
