It had felt like things were about ready to be wrapped up in the group. Chi and Peter were ready to head out with Ash. Astra and Beta seemed ready to head out with Bane. And Dante was going to settle down in the base, ready to defend it - and, Astra presumed through her years of knowing him, probably take over organizing the guild's preparations to move out ASAP.

But then came Ash's curios reaction to Beta, and his voice. Astra blinked looking between them and becoming really uncertain of what's going on. "...Ash? Could you explain?"

Adam nods at first, running through many thoughts and plans about what to do next. But he does make a running mental note about whatever she says. The smell of demons was an interesting comment. He wasn't sure about what they smell like, but he had always noticed that they did have a certain presence.

Speaking of which, it was also noteworthy, after a pause, that she didn't have that same feeling. He's found himself curious, and cautious, around her...but that was for reasons more related to how they met, he was sure.

They were greeted by the guy behind the counter well enough, and professional enough as he purposefully did not look too long in Lucy's direction. "This one will be sleeping in one of my rooms, second from last -" he starts, receiving the ID with a barely raised eyebrow, passing it over to be inspected and registered in the log book. But as the ID passes from his hands, his breath catches. His shoulders tighten painfully, a hot flash of adrenaline floods through him as the cold chill of terror goes down his spine.

The name on the ID?

Lucy Sammael Silva.

The hunter stays very still, hardly able to breathe as everything happens. His body is covered with goosebumps, and his train of thought immediately turns a 180, onto another track. Presence? No, she still did not feel like a demon. He needed to figure out who she was. Run background checks. At best, she chose the name for herself for unknown reasons...at worst...what was the worst option that wasn't a demon?

No, he had to address that later.

Right now, her ID was being passed back to him.

Taking a deep breath, Adam pulled his shoulders back and forced his muscles to loosen up. Nothing good would come from all this tension. It was easier to move when the body was more relaxed and fluid. Not that he could be very relaxed at the moment.

Another deep breath, he hands the care back to her, pays the man at the counter, and moves towards the door, "Let's go."

It's a short trip to the room in question. A key turn, a light switch, and Adam holds the door open to her. He was at least going to wait to get her inside before grilling her. She could be innocent. She could be innocent....she was...probably innocent?

His third deep breath, and a slow exhale, he goes over to the dresser and pulls out a fresh T-shirt and a set of flannel pajamas. "Here...and you can wear anything you find in this room. It's just a spare. There is the bathroom." He motions towards the specific room, and begins to start a pot of fresh coffee.

hello !! >_< (plz rp with me!!)

Welcome! :3

"Ah..." Astra nods slightly in understanding, but then shakes her head, speaking softly, "It won't be safe. Youre a target, and they will expect you to return as much as they expect you to be here now...but I understand you will need to get your things. You will be protected."

She returns her gaze to Bane before turning to Dante, "Didn't I hear you muttering about protecting someone? You can stay here Dante...and send anyone you want in your stead, if you insist." She looks at her friend and advisor with amusement for his want to follow, and understanding as well. She may be more comfortable with him around, but she was not a child that still needed to cling to him.

She looks down and reach to pet Beta and give him ear scratchies, before looking back up at Ash, "I suppose so, he says that you called him here. Subconciously, at least. But I have been enjoying his company, and his insights."

Astra nodded to Betas words, as did Peter, though it had gone pretty much unseen.

After Ash's question, Chi snirks and then chuckles. Astra doesnt respond at first, instead, appearing confused. "...Yes, you can go home?" another pause, "You aren't a prisoner here. But if you're going, you should try to be safe..."

"I'll take care of her, m'lady" Peter offers from behind her, immediately gaining himself eye contact from Chi, and a twitch of the tail. But the shifter otherwise seems to accept the extra protection. Peter, meanwhile, has no idea of the teasing he had received from Dante earlier.

Astra just nods slightly, before turning to Bane, "...what about locations?"

In the storeroom, now filled with the illusion of normalcy, Jacob slipped into dormancy - now appearing as he was, a perfectly still corpse.

The vampire gives a small 'heh', but also feels comforted by his sire's vow of protection...even if it went against what he had personally planned. Even so, he was not about to argue, and instead finished covering himself with dirt in the hole. Son enough, some people come by with empty boxes to make the storage room look full.

Astra nods slowly, "contractless summoning...." she takes a deep breath, "I see...and did you notice a change recently? It seems to me her magic has stabilized."

Peter looks up and smiles slightly as he hears the other small group come out into the hallway. "My lady, our guests wish to ask you a question."

"Hm?" Astra look up and begins to stand, as Chi brings said group closer until the two combine into one group again.
