Danny puts a warning hand on Kaleb's shoulder. "It's alright Warren." he says reassuringly before finally turning to the stranger. "There's no hostility, we're just a little alarmed at being addressed by name by a complete stranger. Surely you understand." He is obviously taken by surprise, but masks it with a hint of amusement. The Spider stunt left no doubt as to Christian's breed. "Well, we're all interested to know how it is you know who we are, and more importantly, why."

Christian smiles at Danny's concern.
"Oh, I've been watching you four for quite a while now," He says, as if it were a standard occurance, "You know, seeing if you were the right guys for the job and all..."
He takes the newspaper from under his arm and thrusts it into Kaleb's arms.
"Here ya go, kid," He says, changing the subject, "I saw you eyeing this off earlier."

Kaleb takes the paper and nods his head. "Well thanks, but that still don't tell us what you want, or what this job it is you are needing help with." He looks at Warren and then down at the paper. "Got any coupons in it?" He looks up a smile on his face.

Waving off Warren's apology as if it were of no concern, Christian shakes his head at Kaleb.
"Well, here's the thing," He says, a slight frown on his face, "I don't think it's a particularly good idea to discuss... family business... in a place such as this. If you know what I mean."
He nods to a man and woman, obviously on their daily jog through the park.
"Not exactly the most secure of places," He says, directed at Danny, his voice hushed a little, "Now, is it?"
He smiles.
"I mean, I overheard you, didn't I?" He says, "And let me tell you, I am by no means the sneakiest of things in this city of mine..."

Lorelei wasn;t so confident as to answer the man back but she thought quietly to herself. Why wouldn't you discuss family business here...why would any self respecting human realise that you were talking about the real world anyway? What with games and books and films about such things they were far more likely to think you were merely playing a silly game than actually talking to fellow werewolves. Unless of course he was talking about things she did not yet know of. That of course was another manifestation entirely. Glancing at the others she remained silent, and watching. She'd like to know how...I suppose species would be as good-a word as any...interacted with one another. Just as long as the spider didn't come to close.

while they are standing there he slowly reaches his hand into his left breast pocket and pulls out a pack of cigs. he flips the top open and slides a cylinder out. setting it just inside his pressed lips he put the pack pack in his pocket and grabs his blue lighter. cupping his hand around the tip of the cig he lights it and blows the smoke away from the group. he puts the lighter away and sticks the cig between his fingers. he nods the the joggers as they pass and turns his attention back to christian and studies him carefully

"Right. I have a place we can go to. It might be a bit cramped, but we won't be overheard." He says hesitantly. He didn't quite trust this guy yet, but he was sure that he, Warren and Kaleb would be more than a match for any shifter. Besides, he could sense no Wyrm taint on this one, and though that wasn't decisive evidence, he figured he should at least give him a chance to explain himself. "You alright?" he asks Lorelei, noticing her discomfort. He knew she didn't like spiders, her reaction to the pattern webs had proven that much. "Would you rather sit this one out?"

Kaleb looks at Danny and his eyes grow wide. He leans into his ear and whispers to him. "Not your kins.." He trails off at there. He looks to Warren and notices him light up a smoke. "Not very good on your lungs I bet, detective." He smiles and nods his head to the smoke, and takes another bite out of his hotdog that Warren gave him. He should be good on food for a while, between Danny and Warren, he's managed quite a few free meals. He smirks to himself.

Christian nods.
"Ah," He says, "And that would be Mr. Seibmann's residence, I presume?"
A slight smile appears on his face, directed at both Danny and Kaleb. While he didn't hear what Kaleb had whispered, he did have a fair idea.
He looks at Lorelei for a moment, his smile broadening a little.
"You mustn't be so frightful, child," He says, "You have nothing to fear from me... nor from my kin."

he grabs the cig between his fingers and lowers it to his side. he looks at danny " where ever man, lets just hurry, i dont like the feeling of us just sitting here" he takes a drag and returns the cig to his side this time looking at keleb. "and you know that thats not really good for you too right?" he points at the hotdog and laughs. he takes note of how spiders scare lorelei and rembers the question he had for her but for right now it would have to wait; christians business was more important......... for now

She smiles a touch when Danny offers to let her give this a miss and she really was tempted for a second...but it wasn't going to be as easy as that, and she was going to have to get used to such things if they were a more active part of her new world. Her voice is low but decisive. "If its alright with you, I'd like to stay, please. There are things I can learn by watching, that will be better explained by interaction.." she looked at Chrisitan in some surprise as he adresses her. "Thankyou, sir..." she bows her head slightly, and raises her eyes to him. "I am more than aware I am safe at present." She was surrounded by her 'kin'...was that what Kaleb had called them? "It's just a teenage flaw I will learn to overcome." She sounds determined...and she will. Eventually.

Danny nods to Lorelei. Somehow he knew she would say that, she watched and learned, and that was a good trait for a cub. "Well, Warren is right, there's no need to linger." he says to the group. "Simon has been kind enough to let me stay at his house for the duration of my stay in the city. However, I am not quite sure he'd react kindly to find me entertaining a host of rather unusual houseguests... no offense meant. But if you want privacy, there's an abandoned block of flats that hasn't been inhabited for ages that we can use. It's not quite fit to hold a moot, but a small meeting between a few "friends" should not be a problem."

Kaleb smirks at Danny's response. Good. Better to be safe then sorry with this guy. He knew about us, but we didn't know a damn thing about him. He looks to his left and to his right and takes another bite, the final one of the hot dog, a smirk still on his face. "Might be made out of something not so good, but it sure does taste damn good." He looks to Warren.
