Mirza stood in front of the gate of Palaemon and Aeros' Umbrian estate, or more notably, that which belonged to their family. There were no servants or anyone for her to speak to, and the gate was closed. In her moonborn guise, she did not appear overtly interesting. After a moment, it occurred to her to scan the surroundings with Semblance — and quickly she found the magicked aura of an enchanted indent in the wall, which she pressed. The Sentinel that was assigned to her had been informed she was hopefully heading directly outside, into Atraxia, but he still followed her around nonetheless.
It took no more than thirty seconds for a servant to appear at the gate. "Can I help you?" They asked, and Mirza repeated the script she had been rehearsing in her head for the past three hours, her eyes wandering and nerves apparent.
"I have a meeting with Palaemon and Aeros, or, Aeros...well, both of them, we made plans... I'm Mirza." The script was immediately jumbled, but the servant seemed to recognize this request, and the gate was opened, and Mirza was ushered into their estate. Just as quickly as she was ushered inside, she was left in a beautiful sitting room and sat onto a plush couch. One man came by with a glass of water with a slice of lemon in it, which Mirza sipped thankfully, and offered a taste to Bird, who perched on myriad places in an attempt to get comfortable while her hands were otherwise occupied. She looked quite the sight, equipped with bow and arrows and light, layered clothing to provide some shield from the everpresent sun.
It took about fifteen minutes, but the original servant returned. "We have confirmed with them that you are expected. Follow me." Mirza brought her glass of lemon water with her, and through a decorated hallway, until the all-familiar portal was placed in front of her. She could see part of the outskirts of Solunarium within, and what amounted to little more than an elbow and a foot of Palaemon and Aeros waiting for her.
Sentinel Sandyr departed then, as she stepped through the portal — she did not need him to augment her camouflage in the desert. As she stepped into the portal, the desert wind blew her hair back, and she turned to Palaeros, a half-grin on her face. Now that she had left the glass of water inside and only had her waterskin strapped to her bag, she could hold Bird.
"Beautiful day to hunt deer, yes?"
