"Nono," she said, falling back two steps. "It's okay." She glanced down either side of the empty street. Everything sacred.As expected, there was no answer on the front door. He would have to go to the back door and hope there's an answer there. If all else fails, they'd have to wait for opening before they could get in. Jintao thought that Tay was still next to him, so he was surprised when she wasn't. She was still in the street and she looked like she might be shivering.
Jintao went over to her and removed his heavy sailor's coat. "Here," he said, handing it to her. "Take off your cloak and put this on." The coat was made to keep spray out and body heat in and was still warm inside from Jintao's own body heat. That is, all of it except for the right sleeve.

"Where are we?" She asked, barely able to hear her own words as excitement rose in her chest. "I want directions to a sacred mercantile. Reasonability is desired, and perhaps lifesaving." She flicked the box-blade up out from her sleeve and let it jump between each finger, a well-formed habit. "Direct me, pal, and take your sacred coat." Stepping back, the steel shone as it twisted over her fingers in methodic coordination. She would not meet his gaze, in fear of being recognized.
