(He thought about what to ask for a moment. Count than asked him when a questions popped in his head.)
Count: So how long have you lived the life of a criminal?

Ryuu bit his lower lip as he thought back, "I would have to say about ten years. I killed my father when I was about 15 and then I started a life of a thief soon after. Then about five or six years ago, I was hired to do spy work for rival gangs due to my mutations. I have other talents as well."

(Count got curious when he heard he had other talents.)
Count: What kind of other talents?

Ryuu sighed and thought about exactly what to divulge. His success as a spy was due to the fact that he could gather secrets very easily, but repeating them was nearly impossible for him. There were many loop-holes that he had to find mentally to make sure that he could re-tell what he had found. He decided to skip that bit for now. When he came to that conclusion, he said,"I have enhanced hearing, sight, and reflexes/balance. If I am ever given any kind of shooting/throwing weapon, I almost never miss.I also may have some kind of healing ability from my mother. I've never really tried it out because I'll pass out and get sick myself if I do." He cleared his throat and scratched behind his right ear, "I am also an escort of sorts..." He blushed hard as he spoke.

Echidna snorted as she filled the glasses. "He says escort and blushes like its so naughty." She hissed as she passed out the drinks. Jack shot her a warning look, then preceded to question Count. "May I ask how long you will be staying in my company?" Jack asked.
Marcus who was up stairs felt his stomach rumble. He looked at the she-wolf laying on his bed. He deiced to bring something up for her when he was done eating. On the way out he ran into Viper and almost immediately his over active mouth almost got him into trouble again. "Hey Vipes, why do you and Ech. always fight?" Marcus asked and to his surprise Viper didn't lash out at him. "Its because she calls me Sylvana." Viper said. "Its a regal name, beautiful, almost fairytale-like. Everything that I am not. So I chose Viper, a poisiness snake and no one likes snakes." As she spoke it seemed like all her energy ran out of her and for the first time Marcus saw her as a fragile girl, not the hot tempered warrior-waitress that he was use to. "Strange." He muttered, almost embarrassed. "You do seem all of those great things to me." Then jokingly ,"Snake bit included." Viper smiled at Marcus and said "If I didn't hate you for what you did to the one who I owe, I would be flattered." Marcus smiled bashfully and replied "Yeah, well I am trying to help him out. Its just taking some time." Then together they walked down the stairs, maybe not as friends but closer. When they got to the bar level Echidna snarled and showed sharpened fangs as she said "Sylvana you took too long. We had to start the important discussions for you." Viper was about to retaliate when Marcus picked up a straw from the counter, unwrapped it and threw it at a speed that was strong enough to sting Echidna's head. "Shut it." Marcus growled "We are in a bind and I really don't want to hear you too fight. Plus its inhospitable to Count and..." He hesitated then asked more gentle to Ryuu, "Yo! Cat! Whats your name?"

(Count raised his eyebrows at Ryuu's last statement. He really didn't know what to say. Count saw through Ryuu's embarrassment.)
Count: Hey, don't feel bad. You want something to drink?
(He grabbed his drink with the extra ice he ordered. He looked up at Echidna and smiled.)
Count: Much obliged.
(Count took the glass and began to drink. He let out a refreshing "ahh" as the alcohol went down his throat. That's when Jack asked him the question. He placed the drink on the table and turned to the man.)
Count: Not sure. I will personally be leaving soon. The information you've given me and what I've seen today has but some questions into my mind. I need answers. As for the rest of the group, they're too tired and wounded to go any where. Once they've recovered, we'll leave. I don't want to take advantage of your hospitality.

Ryuu's ears went back at Marcus's yell and he looked over to the wolf, "My name is Ryuu." His gaze then went back Count, "Water please. I like to stay away from alcohol. It does funny things to me." His right ear twitched as he looked upstairs, "The girl stirs. Is it almost sunrise?"
Upstairs, the wolf moved uncomfortably. Her stomach hurt and her very bones were burning with pain. She wasn't sure what was happening to her.

Marcus looked the cat. His since of time was completely off kilter since he was not one to sleep. Shrugging he looked at Jack who in turn said " Almost, Marcus you might want to bring some food to your guest. You know where everything is." Marcus replied with a half-hearted "Yeah, yeah" as he walked into the kitchen. Marcus then got poured some cereal and orange juice, put it on a tray and walked up to his room. When he approached his room he heard what Ryuu had said earlier. "It sounds like she is having a seizure." Marcus muttered to himself as he attempted to open the door with his elbow. When he walked in, Marcus saw Pavati changing back to her human form.

Pavati thrashed on the bed as the first rays of light entered in through the small window. Still halfway between her two forms, her screams were intermingled with throaty growls and high-pitched whines. As the door opened, Pavati looked up to see a large man walking in. Her blue eyes shone from beneath the white fur that clung to her face and they were filled with fear and pain. She let out one last scream as the tail and the muzzle receded and the fur faded away before she fainted, finally human again.

Marcus frowned slightly as he watched Pavati morph back. Suddenly he was thankfully that he had such big shirts. "At least she is covered." Marcus said as he set the breakfast tray on the side table, then realizing how much of her legs where showing, pulled the covers over the girl. He was thankful that his dark complexion prevented him from blushing. "Not that it matters, cause there is no one here to see it." Marcus told himself.

At the sound of Marcus's voice, Pavati's eyes shot open and she scrambled away from him, pushing the blankets away. It took her only seconds to notice that she was only wearing a large shirt and that there was a large man in the room that looked vaguely familiar. She eyed suspiciously, "Who are you and where are my clothes?"
Down below, Ryuu smiled as his ears twitched upwards. He looked up the stairs and laughed, "The girl is awake. This ought to be entertaining."

Marcus eyes widened as Pavati moved away. He turned his head and covered his face slightly. "Of course she wakes up as I try to cover her up." Marcus said to himself, then answering the girl's question, "I am Marcus and your clothes probably fell off during your shift." Marcus told her.

Pavati blushed slightly, but she bared her teeth in a snarl. Her bright blue eyes scanned the room. She wasn't sure where she was, but her whole body was in agony. As far as she was concerned, this man had done something to her as there was a small amount of blood on the bed. She looked back up at him, "What have you done to me? Why can't I remember how I got here?"

Marcus knew why she could not remember anything. "Ah sorry." He said, " That would be my fault. To keep you from getting to hurt I-ah, kinda knocked you out. Let me make it up to you." Marcus grabbed the tray of food and began to talk in a really bad French accent while gesturing. " 'Ere we 'ave zome creme et oats, zome fruit de orange, et zome frence toes, et zome juice de orange." He placed the tray in front of her and said "bon appetite."

Pavati's eyes narrowed even further as Marcus set the food down. She scooted to the other side of the bed, carefully making sure not to expose herself in anyways as she did so. From her new point, she could watch the man and still keep her eye on the food. True... she was starving. The Change had taken it's toll on her and she would have to contact her family that she was the next Carrier of the curse, but that would come later. For now, she only knew that this man had kidnapped her and that made him very dangerous in her mind.
