Aurelia returned Castella grin with one of her own and a thumbs up. "Great, always nice to have someone who knows how to get things around. I do what I can but most of the people I know aren't usually hanging around in the hives so much as hanging around behind a chimera waiting to see if we have to ship out or not."<br/><br/>"Whatever the plan and whoever we talk to first I'd suggest we not split up and head to each location together. As great as it is to split up to try to do things faster I'm a little wary about doing so in a place like this. If something or someone discovers what we are up to before we are ready, or already suspects we are here, then we're asking to get taken out by splitting up. Plus we have no idea how dangerous some of these places may be or how extensive influence could be. It's a lot harder for a gangster or a noble to make all of us disappear at once than some of us after all and that's assuming nothing accosts us. Plus more eyes in one place at once might pick up on something useful. We should act decisively but we aren't on a strict timetable that we're aware of so being too hasty could lead to failure a lot more easily than being cautious. It's safer to assume that something bad will happen and have enough firepower to deal with it than to assume nothing will and split up just to be picked off piece by piece. If the nobility have been toying with this stuff then they likely have contacts in both the underworld and the arbities and I doubt either will see much wrong in getting rid of troublemakers if it looks prudent. Plus the hive is a bit place and there is a chance we could be accosted by those hired to remove us heading to either location even if those there are unrelated. I'd rather not take chances."
