Deep in the warrens, near the southern forest, lies a rickety looking building three times as high and four time as wide as those around it. Increased in size over time, the structural integrity of the wooden building is questionable, its price however isn't. For a relatively low price, Badger allows people to rent out areas of the building to with as they will. Many of the extensions were made by previous residents and even Badger couldn't tell you all the adjustments made to it.
**Josie, being an Elexian born and bred, had of course heard of Badger's. Now, as to what she thought of the establishment, well, some things you were just better left not knowing. The young aspirant master thief looked down once more at the details on the paper Monmoor had given her before entering.**
The note explained that after delivering a second blackmail note, the culprit, who had not been physically identified, was trailed back to this dwelling. It had not been possible at the time to continue tracking the culprit inside because a fight had broken out in the street.
**Josie thought for a moment, then put the paper away. She looked around the street for a good area to scope out the front of Badger's for a little while, seeing who came and went.**
It was difficult to properly gauge who was staying at the house long term and who was just using it for a temporary hideout. Josie saw nadrask, elves, atarin and even a couple of greel go in and out, seemingly at random.
To say that the foyer of Badger's had a bar would be very generous... so for that matter would calling it a foyer. The open area into which Josie walked has a still in one corner, the contents of which would surely blind her.
Sat in the opposite corner, legs propped on a desk was the proprietor of this fine establishment, wearing a dusty bowler hat and sporting a messy looking beard.
**For anyone who knew Josie well, it was clear she was using every once of her willpower not to let any distaste show. Taking a deep breath, the thief sauntered up to the counter. She put some coin down.**

"They are not on the outside but the building is rather large and there are plenty of people around. How would you like to handle this Christov?" Yoko asked
"I would rather take the direct approach... We are not the ones with something to fear. His eyes glowed with bloodlust and the veins on his face became slightly more pronounced.

They approached the short man, manuvering around barstools, tables and patrons. They made no attempt at subtlety but they were not overtly threatening either. "Good evening sir, I am Christov, the Hunter and this is Yoko the Fox. we have entered your establishment on official peacekeeper business. We are searching for a group of men wearing green with matching haircuts with the sides of their heads shaved. We would be grateful for any assistance you could offer."
Badger - As much I would love to oblige, I fear my business would suffer if I disclosed information about my patrons to the local constabulary. In other words, sod off.

Christov looks down at the man through his tinted glasses, leans closer and lowers his voice to a menacing whisper making sure to flash his noticeably large canines. "I've asked nicely... You wouldn't want to be considered to be obstructing justice now would you?"
Badger - Of course not, but my memory has never been that good, nor has my eyesight, so I rarely have any idea who my guests are. Nothing illegal about that, so, again, BUGGER OFF!

Christov is starting to get the look of a deranged addict in his eye and his voice is low and smooth. His desire rolls off of him in waves. "And go where? If he doesn't tell us what we need to know I'll drain every last dro... He shakes his head as if to clear it and grabs Yoko's arm hoping the man will help restrain him and takes a deep breath. when he speaks again a moment later his voice is raspy "You're right, let us pursue another approach before I do what I threaten."
Yoko indeed helped Christov out. Sensing his beast side (Yoko has not figured out what kind of beast lay within Christov, But he knows it is there) was trying to break free. After that they left and went back to their spot before, with a subtle view of the flophouse.
"Lets wait until night arrives, we can wait and see if they leave somewhere. Or at least it may be less crowded at night... Are you ok with hunting at night?"
Christov seems to have recovered from the bloodlust. The fresh air blowing through the streets seemed to have helped. "I am, as effective in darkness as I am in the light. I must thank you for helping me in there. I have gotten good at controlling the blood lust, but it always seems to find me when it is least welcome... I could see by your reaction that you do not know of me... My nature is not a secret. I am in part a vampire." Christov waits to see the fox man's reaction, obviously expecting a negative reaction.

Josie - A drink, if you please.

"We are getting close" Yoko said "I want to be cautious"
