Grend grunts in agreement. "Looks like they're trying to blend in, but they stand out more because of it. Let's follow them."

They split up to tail the Phoenix Blade members without drawing attention. Corvin follows Lian into the market district, while Grend keeps an eye on Mei and Kara.

Lian meanders through the market, his senses on high alert. He haggles for herbs and talismans, his mind focused on completing his mission. As he hands over some soul coins for a rare herb, he feels an unsettling presence. He discreetly glances over his shoulder but sees nothing out of the ordinary.

Grend follows from a distance, his large frame surprisingly agile in the crowded streets. He watches as Mei interacts with vendors, his suspicion growing.
