Kaiser closed the door with a dull click, shutting out the tumult of the outside world. Irene, letting out a light sigh, removed her hooded coat and carefully placed it on the back of a chair. Her gaze followed Kaiser, who was already heading toward the small adjacent room, set up as a dressing area.
He returned a few minutes later, transformed. He had swapped his white shirt for another one, deep black, made of velvet fabric. Over it, he had slipped on a long hooded coat, the same dark color, falling to mid-calf. Fitted black pants highlighted his athletic silhouette, and black leather boots completed the outfit. He now looked like an anonymous traveler.
"You look magnificent like that, but..." He pointed to the midnight blue silk dress that still clung to Irene's curves. "However, we need something more practical. Less... remarkable. We risk being watched, and I want us to go unnoticed."
