"Alone...so your father isn't in the picture then. Lucy Silva and...Vanessa Silva" He murmurs as he takes notes, pulling out the piece of paper and folding it. Once he slipped it into his pocket, he sets the notepad down and looks at her with a sigh. "Concerning 'research' aside, I'll use my information to look for her. And I'll let you know if I find anything troubling...like financial trouble or nearby demon activity."

Adam sighs again, initially wondering if demon activity would even be a concern in this case. But he had to reassure himself that it must be, in some way, still concerning. Especially if Lucy is looking for a friend.

"I can't believe I have to specify this, but you are NOT to say your middle name. Sorry if that offends you" He frowns slightly, turning back to his coffee. "My soul is already tainted, I don't need him to appear and make it fester"

Not to mention everything else the devil could do if they caught his attention.

He sighs again, "Your friend was captured by demons? So, at least I don't have to worry about being a demon themself."

The demon hunter goes back to his coffee, letting his mind wander and touch up on different options and points of contact to reach out to.

"You're free to ask questions."

Talon nods, silent and thoughtful at first. He was just ready to let the old drunkard lead them at this point. But after a moment he set aside the anime comments to talk about bar games. With a shake of his head, he chuckles, "I don't think I've played darts before...and probably like just one game of pool, ever."

He shrugs, walking side by side with the fae guy, sharing his acquaintance's nervousness as they enter the alleyway. Luckily, the drunkard stopped at a door just about a third of the way down the dark side street. Makes it easier to run away if they need to. He sighs inwardly though; they were in the starting area, weren't they? They shouldn't have to run away from anything here.

And so, he led the both of them in after the old man. Inside was pretty much what one might expect a tavern to look like. There was the fireplace in the back, the bar, tables, chairs, ruffians. Talon smiled slightly. People were a good sign here. Looking around, he counted a table of people playing some sort of dice game, five separate people, and a bartender. She, like everyone was dressed in common clothes in a darker grungey color scheme. The lighting in here was on the dark side, but with candles and light crystals scattered around.

Curious, he reaches out to touch one such crystal. There was a gentle glow, but no heat. "Interesting..."

The drunkard looks at him and shakes his head, "What's so interesting about that? Stupid, sheltered kid don't even know about light crystals?"

"Hanson, are you hassling people again?" The bartender demands, looking up sharply from talking to the customer at the bar. The old man huffs as he walks up and takes a seat, "Don't blame me, Patty. Ye should have seen how they spoke to me..."

"Well, you don't give the best impression do you?" she smirks, sliding the man a mug of beer, "Here, I bet you conned them out of a drink didn't you?"

"I wouldn't have gotten a chance, even if I tried. They got no money."

"Oh? Well then you're lucky. I'll still let you have it on the house - but only one."

"Thanks beautiful, you're a doll..."

She grins, turning her attention to the two young adventurers, "So what business are you two looking for?"

Chi gives a helpless nod at first, but he perks up as the shop comes into view and speeding up a bit to get there first. Peter smiles slightly, but keeps close to his charge's side. "I'm sorry..it must be disturbing to realize that you've been watched....regardless of the reason."

Once he had gotten to the door, Chi sniffs around and opens it first, on the look out for traps, goons, and giant smooshing boulders. "Trigger?"

Astra smiles vaguely and nods as Bane talks about being too focused on work "Guilty."
On his proposal, she gives his arm a squeeze, "I still have my concern with the captain of the guard working with a shadow guild. The idea seems to...conflict"

The group with Ash continues for some time before she stops again. Chi sighs but doesnt say anything. He looks simply out of his depth. Peter hums, "If lady astra was interested in your work, and wanted to keep trouble away from you...it's possible that she was worried about you becoming a target as well. Of course, I still can't speak for her. I can only tell you that she has the best intentions for the city and the people in it"

She blushes deeper as Bane confirms his feeling, "my guardian...ah, Dante? He might be protective, but I dont think he would try to keep me to himself..." she falls quiet again, hummin in thought before looking up at the werewolf, "...I have no one else of romantic interest...I flirt and I tease, But I actually don't get out much."

"..."

I should kill her..

The thought comes sudden and intrusive, but he doesn't move.

No...

He runs his hand through his hair, some sort of movement to ease his stress and tension.

Killing people for being stupid is a slippery slope...

"Tch" he huffs, clearly irritated, "...you were never normal. What else? Is your friend a djinn? What idiocy. A demonologist, naming her kid after the lord of hell... If you're going to run an experiment, why not use a lesser demon?"

With another huff, he pulls out a notepad and pen, demanding in a casual but gruff tone, "..who's your mom?"

Chi shrugs, "Ive known for a year or so.." Peter takes a step forward and bows to her slightly, "Our organization took note of your accomplishments and your lack of activity in the guilds in general. Our Lady, and even Dante believe your accomplishments will be important later.. though, I'm not privy to the details, miss. Its clear to me, though, that for the most part...our lady did not want us to bring you trouble."

He straightens and looks over at Chi, "...if he had not ended up helping you, Chi might have gotten an earful for his mistake."

"Hmph."

Astra slows to a stop, still faintly blushing, "So, it was for you after all." she speaks softly, before chuckling. "I...suppose. I will allow you to woo me~"

Peter watches her a moment, then looks at chi curiously. Chi tink a bit, "Hm... I guess I should tell you that we have notable people mapped out...I knew where your shop was, but I personally uh...had other things...and people, to focus on. You seemed focused on your work, so I never got concerned about your movements..."

Peter chuckles, "The organization, as a whole, gathers a lot of information. I'm sure Chi knew your shop and who you were just as part of how he navigates the city."

Astra blushes slightly at first. However, as she silently gives it some thought as they travel, the blush deepens some. "...If they are long living, and do not mind that I havent even passed a hundred yet...I wouldnt mind a mate"
