"Sounds like a fine idea to me. And besides, who wouldn't recognize their own brother?"
Ellie tried to perk up some, reminding herself she had to play the part until she couldn't anymore; she still regretted not having a moment to speak with Paige before everything came to a head. No matter, there was nothing she could do at this point but go ahead with the plan now.

As night fell, Ellie made her way from her room at the inn with a loaded quiver on her back and her bow slung over her shoulder. She headed out the front door and scanned up then down the street - just as dead now as it had been before. Part of her stifled a laugh; it would be sign for alarm if the streets were busier after dark than during the day after the nonexistent bustle surrounding their arrival. She ducked left and ran her hand along the outer wall of the inn before she slipped into an alley nearby.
Shad better not be late...
Ellie continued slinking her way between buildings, doing her utmost to stay under cover of darkness as she made her way to the foot of the mountains. Upon her arrival she did another quick scan - still empty, not even the sound of crickets to fill the air. She heaved a sigh of relief and found a low stack of crates to huddle behind; all she could do now was wait.
