If Gara ever ran into a real beastkin, they'd immediately know he wasn't one of them, but using powder instead. The smell was far too strong, unnaturally so.
Only in Falopo Town or other small towns and villages could he use it, since the small towns and villages hardly had any non-humans. Even then, it wasn't recommended.
Beastkin were the easiest race to blend in with humans. For all he knew, one could be wandering around without their knowledge.
Using beastkin powder openly in town would raise suspicion and suspicion was the last thing they needed now.
Back at the inn, Gara explained his plan to the others as well as to Tristan.
"Uncle, what do you think about Bota Village?"
"Actually, the Liners there are all human. No other races are allowed," Tristan said gravely. "That's because there's a secret protocol applied to a high-risk area."
"What kind of secret protocol, Uncle?" Gara asked. Even Madha, now serving as a town guard, looked puzzled.
