ooc: Silas would have assumed that Dastil would recognize him rather easily and has made no real attempt to conceal his identity from the assassin. His rather modest disguise is simply to assure that he is not recognized by any passerby.

He senses the boy's impatience, but proceeds deliberately. This is a dangerous and delicate matter and he has risked far too much in choosing this course of action to allow for the sloppiness of haste just when he must make himself perfectly clear.

I trust your resources are sufficient to select a superficially unlikely suspect who, upon some digging, has ample motive for such a deed." He pauses then and draws a few deep breaths before continuing. "This is a difficult request, I realize, and one that undoubtedly demands a very high price. What are your terms?"
