He cuts too distinctive of a figure to hide, and he isn't much for skulking through the shadows as it is--it had seemed pointless to do anything but remain brazenly out in the open. But passing through for a few days is one thing. Pissing off Ningguang by gallivanting around her city like he still belongs here, on the other hand, probably isn't wise. Perhaps under other circumstances, he'd take the risk, but he's got leads to follow and a job to do, and the Millileth are boring to fight anyway.]
