Where these people stupid, did they not want food and shelter, he though as he paced. He had long ago abandoned relaxing on the couch in favor of digging a rut in the hardwood floor. He let out a frustrated snarl before throwing himself into one of the armchairs. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Marabas tried to think.<br/><br/>He could always go and find them himself. He didnâ€™t want to spook them though. That would mean approaching them in human form, un-armed. He let out a sigh and gazed into the fire. This could work, heâ€™d just have to be very careful. Standing, he grabbed his jacket from the sofa. He slipped it on and walked out of the door, grumbling curses as he went. It wasnâ€™t terribly chilly but there was a cold feeling to the town. Perhaps that was because there was no one left in it, it wasnâ€™t really a town anymore, just a shell of one.<br/><br/>Marabas took a deep breath, taking the air in through his mouth and filtering back out his nostrils. He picked up a sent, the sent of fox and horses. Smiling he began to follow the smell. He didnâ€™t try to be quiet; he wanted to let the group know that he was coming. It would make them less likely to attack first and ask questions later. He took another whiff of the air. He was close. He turned a corner and was met by a building in slightly better condition than the others but not by much. He smiled, knowing he had found where the group was spending the night.<br/><br/>Marabas walked up to the door. He took a second to straighten out his jacket and run a hand over his already slicked back hair. It was night but he kept his sunglasses on. His eyes could be slightly frightening. Scaring these people was the last thing he wanted to do. Feeling he was adequately put together he opened the door, prepared for an attack if that was how they reacted. <br/> <br/></span></span></span>
