After a few moments of Alex and I awkwardly staring at each other, he finally broke the silence. [b][i]"Yeah, no, not quite. So um. These contacts of yours...I take it we don't exactly want to be meeting them after dark, am I right?"[/i][/b] he said. I jumped out of my skin from the break in the silence, then managed to blush.

"Uh," I said. "Yeah, some of them. Okay, 90% of them." Standing up, I walked over to the coat rack in the room and took off my things, hanging them up. I pointed to various parts of the room and cast cleaning spells, finally deeming it clean enough to take off my boots. The floors, were not actually made of sickly gray looking planks, but of a pretty dark pine. Same with the rest of the furniture, and the lavatory.

Walking back to the bed, I cast one more charm on the beds to reveal paisley bedspreads and off-white sheets. I left my bag sitting on the bed and sat back down, edging to be against the wall for support and tucking my legs under me. "There. That's something you have to do here, I mean Tom isn't exactly a woman who's focused on keeping everything clean," I said.

"Anyway, Alex. No. I wouldn't recommend meeting with most of the people I know at night, although one of them is only reachable at night. But he's the only exception. I'll send him a message tonight and see when he can meet with me. As for the others, we can just get away with going cloaked in the day, although there's one guy..." I drifted off for a second and bit my lip. "There's one guy I use Polyjuice Potion to meet with. He's sketchy even on his good days, and once he was having a bad day and I had to threaten him to get him to cooperate."

Too comfortable to get up, I pointed at the table in the room with my wand and moved it over to my bedside. Out of my bag I pulled my potions box, and my chest-vault, setting them on the table. I was unaware that a pair of my underwear had gotten stuck to the potions box.

"So you've seen my vault, obviously. The other one is my potions box, all my stuff is in there. I have a stock of Polyjuice," I said. "We'll just need to pull some hairs out of someone."
