Zachary shrugged. " Depends" he said simply, taking a relaxed pose and then looked at Klara. " I have done it since I was thirteen, it is my job and I do it, why is it something an adult shouldo?" he asked Klara, looking confused yet again.

“I hear that, but sometime a man can’t be too picky.” Patting his pocket he nodded once more. “Thanks for the card, maybe I will be seeing you again, if ol’ lady luck smiles on me.” Then taking another drag off the cigarette he headed on down the street and rounded the corner. Once out of site, he breaks into a slow jog and makes his way back towards where he left klara and Zachary.

Klara responded with a shrug of her own, although why wasn't really clear. "Do they say why they want these people dead?" she asked.
"Good luck with the job hunt," the guard said as Simeon headed off. He returned to his game shortly afterwards.

" I should know why they should be dead by the time they give me the order" Zachary said and smiled as Simeon arrived. " How bad is it?" the ahroun asked. The boy tried to correct his cap a bit, he had almost forgotten he wasn't wearing his usual outfit in the stress of the day. Especially after Klara arrived.

Simeon frowned slightly as he caught the tail end of the conversation, wondering what the Hell the two were talking about. “Mmm not sure yet. I want to do some checking still. I want to talk to Edward. He is a friend with some connections” He added as he gave klara a reassuring smile. “See what he can find out on this building and its owners.” He also wanted to talk to the Caern elders as well, after all this wasn’t ‘their’ problem so much as his. But Klara was Rom, and that made her kin of sorts and Simeon felt he had ‘certan’ responsibilities in that area.
“Where are you staying?” He asked Klara as he starting walking back the way they came. He couldn’t take her back to the caern, and he as yet had no place of his own for her to stay at as well. He gave a little laugh to himself as he wondered if he could pry a loan out of the Glasswalker for his own flat.

Klara's discomfort, though hidden to Zachary all this time, was immediately apparent to Simeon when he returned. "I am staying with some of our kin," she said. "You are welcome to stay with us if you like. Could I have a word with you... in private?" She glanced at Zachary quickly, but then returned her gaze to Simeon. Something had apparently put her on edge, and it was most likely Zachary. But Zachary was still oblivious.

Zachary nodded and smiled. " If you say so" he retorted, but what Klara said next, made Zachay frown. He was bad at human emotions, that's why he bothered little with them, but he had just told her that he was a killer. People didn't like that. " Look, miss, I... I'm not like those in the movies, I don't kill just anyone" he tried his best to explain.

Simeon’s eye narrowed dangerously as he heard Zach speak, now he knew what klara was going to say to him, if only in general. With some effort he composed he face and bit down on his ire as he turned to Kalra. “Of course….” And he stopped walking and indicated that Zach should continue on til he was out of earshot with a curt nod.
Once he was sure Dark Wish was far enough away he gave klara a slight smile. “Well, beside the obvious…what is bothering…and what did Zachary say?”

Klara looked up at Simeon with complete sincerity and concern for his (and her) safety. He could tell she was reluctant to talk about his friend in a negative way, but was speaking up because she was genuinely worried.
"How well do you know this boy?" she asked once they were out of Zachary's earshot. "I think he is severely disturbed... I know it is not my place to judge, but I think he might be dangerous to others. He told me he was a hired killer, and he seems to really believe it. He says 'they' tell him to kill people."

It was only sheer will power that kept Simeon from cursing loudly and prolifically. Sighing he nodded to her keeping his face neutral and pleasant to hide is anger. “I Know him enough, he is touched.” And he touched his head. “ I am working with troubled teens, Zach has a lot of issues with reality and fantasy it seems.” He gave a sad smile. “Tell you what, give me a number and a address and I will get in touch with you. I need to get Zach back to the clinic anyway. It is almost time for his medication anyway.” He gave Klara a reassuring smile as he waited for her to reply and comply.

If Zachary heard any part of the conversation, he did not seem to mind. The boy was frantically looking to make sure nothing could surprise them.

(At this point, for example, you could request a perception roll if you're actively trying to eavesdrop. For now, Zachary hears nothing. He doesn't even know they are talking about him.)
Klara breathed a sigh of relief. She even smiled. "Oh, I wish you'd told me," she said, looking over at Zachary with a pitying smile. "I'm sorry if I upset him."
She pulled out a pencil and a crumpled receipt and scribbled an address and a phone number on it. Then she handed it to Simeon. "Thank you so much," she said. "Do call me as soon as you learn anything about Tomas."

Simeon Smiled “Well, I didn’t feel it was a good time to say anything in front of him, but I forgot how he can be. I am sorry if he upset you in anyway. Perhaps the Doctor’s were wrong and he really isn’t ready to interact with the real world. I had hoped to prove them wrong.” He took a deep breath that he let go as a sad exhale.
Then leaning forward he kissed her forehead “I will leave him behind next time. And I will be in touch with you soon, I promise.” And he would, alone or with back up, the Rom were the closest his tribe had to Kin these days, and one always kept ones word to Kin.
Once she was away, he would turn and walk back to Zachary. “Let get back and report in.” Was all he said. It wasn’t the time or place to reprimand the other now, and that was also the job for the caern elder. But there would be a reckoning. Thank the spirits, Klara believed what he told her about Zach.

Zachary nodded, and sighed deeply. "She said she was kin, I told her only the truth" he said to Simeon and followed the older garou calmly.

“Only told her the truth?” Simeon growled as he rounded on the boy. “Your truth came dangerously close to blowing what we protect. Saying one is family is not always the same as what we call family, and not all of our family is knows the things we do. And now because of your choice of words I have had to lie to one I call Kin!” His voice raised ever so slightly at this, because to protect his fellow Garou, he had besmirched his honor to the Rom.
It was with extreme control that he did not slam Zach into the side of the building, though it did paint a pretty picture in his mind. “As it is, it is not my call to make. Danny will be told of what happened. I for one find you are not ready for the type of work that the pack I am forming needs. You can’t lie, and in lieu of that you can’t keep you mouth shut instead…and you panic when a sixteen year old girl walks towards you….” Simeon was clearly not very happy with the way the day had been going, he had been unable to get any information at the building because of Zach’s blunder there…and then to find out what he told Klara. Running his hand through his hair he turned and started walking. “We go back now. I have work to do later.”
