Josef flashed him a grin seeing that the two men aligned in their hopes. A troupe of nomads consisting of two hunters, a vampire, and a motherfucking genie. His life was like that of those in comic books now, and if he had anything to say about it, he'd tell you that he actually liked it. Having company certainly beat lone wolfing it. He raised his eyebrows but said nothing as the guard introduced himself as Grim, seeing that he didn't seem too interested in gleaning their names from them and followed with crossed arms and discerning eyes.

The hunter was more than willing to let the other speak for the both of him and a shiver ran down his spine with the guard smiled, revealing two rows of sharpened teeth. He wondered if that was intentional or the cause of something...else. The news of being able to get his weapons soon put him at ease, but later on in the day would have been preferred. Ah well, one couldn't be too picky when they were at the mercy of others. He'd learned that the hard way.

” Yeah, you know, or later, considering you said you might show up at the bar. Rin and I don't have anything better to do so we just might see you there,” Josef said giving the man a two fingered salute as he disappeared through the door. When he was gone, he looked around the small home and sighed. “Good thing we don't plan on staying here long, eh?”

Ashi paid careful attention to Drishe's eyes as she drank the vampire in visually. She closed her eyes feeling Drishe's hand on her cheek, biting her lip as her hand drifted. The moment was perfect, reminiscent of their time in the hive. “Well you've succeeded, Drishe. And you continue to do so.” The moment was ruined with Nurse Rose's appearance and her face immediately fell.

The positioning of the party as they made their way through the wretched place did not go unnoticed, again. Prejudices prevailing, and again, she stayed quiet as the nurse and the genie spoke, the vampire caring little for the nurse. Had she been a lower vampire, the nurse would have been better drained and giving her energy.

“So we're just going to be locked in here like dogs for five days? What are we to do about my feeding? If I don't feed, I can guarantee that I will not be as safe to be around as I am now. I will have no control over my actions, and my actions can be deadly,” Ashi said with raised eyes.
