Taryn paused just outside of the Square, inside the Tunnel, wondering what was keeping Jax. Just as she was preparing to go see, he appeared at her side. With a sweeping paw gesture, he indicated that they should go right. Puzzled, Taryn obeyed and soon the Tunnel gave way to a pleasant if somewhat shabby subterranean street. She had grown up in Home but was confused.<br/><br/>"Where are we? Who lives here?" she whispered.<br/><br/>He held a paw to his mouth and nodded with his ears toward a shadowed doorway. She darted to it. Jax soon joined her and tapped on the window pane.<br/><br/>A tiny Beastkin female opened the door. She was dressed in gauze and beads. Taryn had to look twice before she realized this female was dressed to entice.<br/><br/>"Jax," she crooned, pulling him in for a long embrace, rubbing against him. "Finally the offer of  my charms have drawn you to me."<br/><br/>"Let us in, Greta," he asked, yielding a kiss as if it were payment for passage.<br/><br/>She stepped out of the way, long tail swishing. Her long graceful body was softly powder blue and white. Her bright blue eyes sparkled as she surveyed Taryn.<br/><br/>"I like to play with girls, too," she purred. "I never knew you liked things that way, Jax."<br/><br/>"Cut it out, Greta. We need a place to stay until tomorrow."<br/><br/>"Well, go Home. I'm sure someone is missing the Warrior Woman." Greta pouted, lashing her tail.<br/><br/>Jax stepped closer, nuzzling at her neck. She purred loudly.<br/><br/>"Okay, just for you." she relented. "But are you sure you aren't ready to visit my boudoir?"<br/><br/>"Soon, Greta, soon." Jax reassured her.<br/><br/>He motioned for Taryn to follow him to a back room where a red rag rug was arranged in the middle under a rickety makeshift table. Greta moved the table and Jax tossed it aside to reveal a trapdoor. Pounding from Greta's door caused his ears to stand upright. The fur on Greta's tail fluffed out like a bottlebrush.<br/><br/>"Quick," she hissed.<br/><br/>The two were through the door and the faint filtered light was cut off and the soft thump of the table being replaced was followed by gruff voices.<br/><br/>Taryn smiled faintly as she heard Greta saying,<br/><br/>"Well, Mitch, finally the offer of my charms has drawn you to me."<br/><br/>The voices became louder and the scraping of chairs sounded over heard. Taryn prepared to gather the energy to flow under the floor boards when she heard,<br/><br/>"Would you like some tea or some port?" Greta was saying.<br/><br/>"Have you seen anyone out of the ordinary lately?" a male voice asked.<br/><br/>"what is that information worth?"<br/><br/>The sound coins dropping on the table rang in the air.<br/><br/>"Hmmmm. No one. Business has been slow. But I do have something to share with you for that coin." she purred.<br/><br/>Footsteps faded over head and soon the sound of pounding bed springs grated on nerves. Taryn shifted uncomfortably but Jax just smiled as he leaned against a crate.
