Ah, now he was getting somewhere!  A quick glance at first Tears, then Cheryl, and a slightly cocked eyebrow, but that melted into a friendly smile for both of them before he turned to Lacey, shook her hand firmly, and grinned.<br/><br/><em><strong>"All right.  Lead the way."</strong></em><br/><br/>He'd taken a cab, himself, so their cars were the way he was likely headed anyway.  Once they'd pointed them out anyhow.  Following Lacey and the others--she might not be formal pack alpha but she'd stepped up first, so she was in charge until someone else stepped up instead, far's he was concerned--he took just one glance over his shoulder at the building as they exited.  He couldn't help idly wondering what their business'd been here, but he figured he'd ask later.<br/><br/>When they got to the cars, and Kyle was reasonably sure he wouldn't be overheard by random passersby, he turned to the rest of the group.<br/><br/><strong><em>"Okay, so."</em></strong><br/><br/>He took a breath, closed his eyes, and started reciting from memory.<br/><br/><em><strong>"I'm from the sept, and I'm to report to the pack investigating Paradise, and if they haven't found anything urgent, I'm to tell them that one of the local Kin reports seeing something he thinks might be a fomori--no confirmation on that, but it's definitely something unnatural they said--at Caeser's Palace.  And since they seem to be, for the moment, short an Ahroun, I'm to step in if they'll have me."</strong></em><br/><br/>That last part wasn't really true.  There hadn't been any 'if they'll have you'.  But Kyle added it anyway.  No harm in being polite, right?  Kyle opened his eyes, and nodded.<br/><br/><em><strong>"That's all they said.  I know it's kinda short notice, sorry about that.  But I'll follow your lead for the moment, if you guys'll have me."</strong></em><br/><br/>He shrugged, grinned at Lacey.<br/><br/><strong><em>"Ink and Steel reporting for duty, ma'am."</em></strong>
