Distraction (mostly) accomplished, Astrid thumbs off her crystal; canโt have it squawking and creating audible feedback once she returns to them.
And now sheโs actually gotten started and they had in fact been loitering on watch for a while, waiting for the street to clear enough for her to go pick up the message, so relieving her bladder is taking a while. Cโmonnn, faster, faster, she half-mutters to herself, trying to go as furiously quick as she can without busting something. After some half a minute, she finally does an ungainly sort of shaking herself off like a dog and then hauling her clothes back on. Itโs not very hygienic. Itโs fine. Whatever.
And she returns to the mouth of the alley, making a show of lacing up her trousers again, feigning bemusement at the pair of guards while Barrow rummages through his belongings.
โSorry, sir anโ sir. All the shops needed you to be a paying customer, like.โ
