Ethan, Maverick, and Hale stood inside a quiet tent while finishing their preparations, and the faint smell of treated leather filled the air as they adjusted their disguises carefully and checked every small detail so that nothing looked out of place.
They had used animal skin to reshape their ears, and the crafted extensions blended naturally with their hair while giving them the proper appearance of elves, and their clothing had also been changed to match the merchants they would travel with so that they would not stand out in any way.
Ethan adjusted the edge of his sleeve and glanced at Hale while narrowing his eyes slightly.
"You look strange," he said.
Hale snorted lightly and touched his ear while frowning.
"You don't look any better," he replied, and then shook his head as if he was still not used to it.
Maverick stood beside them, and his expression remained calm as always while he checked the surroundings once more and made sure there was no mistake.
