"Tomorrow morning, then. Let him know that is when we will strike."

"Right away."

She passes on the message via her snakes.

The mages will be ready at dawn, then.

Good.

(Perhaps Hisame and the Keres can spend the rest of the day on pleasure? Their pieces all seem quite in line.)

Business taken care of, pleasure naturally follows.

Mmm, and even with a very early night, they have quite a few hours for fun...

And two toys that haven't quite worn out yet. Even so, the Keres is more interested in being touchy with Hisame than them, though if Hisame wants to include them, she won't tell her no.

Hisame has clones for this! The Keres can have a dedicated Hisame, while two clones put on a show.

Ooh. She likes this.

This is definitely Hisame's new favorite use of clones.

(She finds she especially likes watching her main body and the Keres through the clones' eyes. That her main body would enjoy the clones' show goes without saying.)

And when it's time to put their toys up and go to bed, the Keres can have all three Hisame's for a short time.

She makes best use of this. She loves the way her kitten plays.

Then the Keres is going to get a very satisfied Hisame!

...Who is making a low, content sound that could be mistaken for a purr.

She tightens her grip.

"So you do purr, kitten."

Snuggle.

"Caught red handed, I suppose," she says, voice husky, deepening her purr. "Red pawed? Red whiskered? Well, there's certainly blood involved."

"I suppose I'll have to clean you off, then."

"I suppose you might!"

There's a very particular fashion in which cats clean themselves. The Keres takes it upon herself to demonstrate for Hisame.

Hisame is apparently ticklish! 

(They're going to have trouble going to bed at a sensible hour, at this rate.)

Some sacrifices are worth making.

But yes, they should perhaps wind things down.

The Keres can have a delighted snuggly kitten to cuddle through the night, then.

She's just as much of a zombie as normal the next morning, though since the next morning starts before dawn she seems capable of adjusting before their grand performance.

Good, there's still a bit of preparation to do before the main event. Mostly in the way of quiet assassination. It might be most efficient if they split up a bit and handle the targets close to simultaneously.

Hisame can stretch her number of clones for this, too, and her snakes can handle the softer targets on their own.

Then they can make it to the Chantry as the horizon begins to lighten, with the scene set for their appearance.

Hisame favors appearing in a dramatic crack of lightning, for this.

It seems the Grand Cleric is an early riser, as she's among the group of sisters who emerge from the Chantry to investigate.
