The next day, I woke up to hear the wonderful sound of the stream rushing through the sanctuary. I woke up to it every day, but it never got old.
Ryana seemed to already be up; I'd slept for a long time. Looking up at the small crack in the sanctuary's ceiling, I could see the sun was just slightly to the east; nearly midday.
"Morning, Ryana. Shou' we go soon?" My mouth slurred over the word 'should' from my yawning, but it was at least still recognisable. Ryana agreed, and we left a note for Talia and Amelia:

Gone to Riften for a few hours,
will be back by sundown.
Try not to destroy the sanctuary!
R&E
We set off, and were walking past Goldenglow Estate when something occurred to me.
"Ryana. How do we get into Riften? Is there some back entrance that your contact's opened, or have they bribed the guards, or what?"
I had taken my hood in any case; most guards didn't care about TREA existing. It was the Jarls who did this, and forced the guardsmen to fight them. The guards, like most everyone else, were scared by the dragons, and welcomed someone skilled and experienced to help fighting them. However, there were some that thought we ought to be put to the sword, no matter what kind of bribe they got; whether it be a bribe of gold, or a bribe of our open skin.
An example: once, we had nearly been caught by a guard who demanded a bribe to let us go. We had had no gold on us, so I undid the zip on my bodysuit a little, letting my cleavage show even more and said seductively, "I'm sorry, friend, me and my friends just couldn't resist walking by you on our way home." Usually, that would have worked, but that time, the guardsman had simply laughed, stared at my cleavage a little, then said that he didn't care; he would kill us anyway. Abiding by our rule of no killing guards, we fled. Usually though, it worked.
So I hoped that whatever method the Thieves had found to get us into Riften, it wouldn't get us caught.
