The whatsit watched as the spittle ate through the concrete, frowning. It just proved his point, others saw the changeling as something bad, when really that wasn't him. He had a bad past, a bad present, and most likely a bad present, through no fault of his own, and because of the way people saw him he had become bitter to the world, though the good in him still seemed to battle to keep itself seen. Zahler looked up, slightly taken aback by the question. He wasn't fond of his own past and didn't like talking about it, but maybe what this guy needed was someone to sympathize with. "Me? Well, when I was young I lived with my grandfather, who traveled a lot. Then he died and I traveled a lot by myself. I eventually came to a city where I felt at home and accepted, but what I didn't realize was there was a huge conspiracy going on to destroy the city and everyone who lived there. In the end it was destroyed, along with all my friends and anyone else who lived there. I was the only survivor. After traveling for a while longer I came here and applied for a job at the bar as the cook. But I wandered off at one point and wasn't around for a while. I had an adventure of sorts, but it ended badly. I learned that I'm not who I thought I was, in fact, I'm not anything I've ever heard of, a mystery race. I came back here, started my second day of work, got in the middle of that fight, ran after you, and here I am."

" Sounds like everyone's story in this city, though it hasn't been successfully destroyed... yet." he mused to the young man as he looked over to him with a bit of a frown. That classic frown that he offend carried since well. People tended to not bother him so much and had less of a goal to wipe a smile off his face. He mused a bit, at the mention of a mystery race.
" Don't feel so confused. There are alot of forgotten races out there in the world. Alot of people who find out their something they never heard of before. It doesn't matter. Race, it's just another thing to segregate you by. At least you appear human enough the witches can't trouble you any." He told him as he lifted up the sleeve of his jacket for the guy to see the many black dancing marks upon his body. The marks seemed to flicker between black and a lighter shade of gray at the moment. A physical display of a placid mood for the changeling.
" Between this and my eyes, it's easy to mark me out for a halfbreed. Changeling mostly at that." He snorted as he let his sleeve slide back down his arm to hide the marks once more.
" My names David... by the way. David Louvell. I'm a private renegade detective I guess you can say." He told him calmly.

Alta just stood there watching thing unfold before her eyes. the pregnant dragon threating to kick david out, the other changeling running then the new waiter of the bar. She just sighed and shook her head. She knew it was just useless for her to be there so she made her way back to the bar and took a seat in a dark corner and just closed her eyes. She was tempted to leave but she didn't want to leave david here when claudius was still around and knew there could be more trouble. She let her eyes travel over david just taking his looks in and letting them settle completely in her memory.
------------
Kitsu was tempted to go over and break everything up when she saw zarrie handle things. She blinked slowly seeming to notice something about the female was different. She made her way over to her friend and co-worker and placed a hand on her shoulder with a smile.
"hey, how are you?" she asked the female, letting her own worries disappear. she wanted to go home to corbin and make sure he was resting. She had been worried over him all night and was surprise she didn't pull all of her hair out of her head.

Claudius now was irked. Haveing seen the changeling ran out of the bar and outside with the waiter in tow he made his way over to Alta with a frown.
" So, I take it you were at my place offering to help for more then your own self motive?" he asked her as his tail lashed about. He was in his true shape and not all to happy at the present moment.

Alta arched an eyebrow when claudius stepped up to her. She let her eyes take in his gargoyle shape form. She had known about claudius being curse and never once seen it. She wasn't to surprise he let himself go here in the bar, because it was the only place one could be who they truly were.
"The reason I do something has nothing to do with anyone else" she replied as she picked up her drink and tossed it back in one gulp.

" Then why come to my place, with a rouge detective." He accused as he pointed through the door where David had dissapeared.
" I didn't think anything about it before, but I bet my humanity that HE was your little purple baby you were carrying around in the castle." he told her since well. He never saw David's true shape... but well. One could only guess the truth behind that.

Alta just let out a soft laugh at this. She let herself settle more comfortably in her chair as she kicked her feet up ontot he table,and her legs crossed at her ankles. She looked up at claudius with an amused look on her face.
"What in the world made you think that david would ever allow anyone to call him their baby pet hmm?" she asked

" Don't play that with me, that pet of yours had triple ringed violet eyes mixed with fushia and white, and hell I just got a look at that man's eyes and their the perfect match. It's not hard to figure it out. " He told her then with a smirk he added.
" Unless you had his child already hmm?" He accused, trying to seek the truth out of her.

"nope not his child. But yet again you never know if my little one is blood related to david in some way or another" she smirked at him
"his father does have very strong genes after all" she stretched a bit, keeping herself relaxed.
"anyways what does it matter to you that my little one has the same eyes as david hm?" she arched an eyebrow at this while watching the lesser demon infront of her.

" Uh, huh, then produce that little one? I bet you couldn't. " He smirked as his teal orbs watched her own.
" I don't know who his father is besides some changeling but what it matters. Well, if I am going to be truthful to you, I would at least like enough respect for you to be totally truthful to me." he frowned at her. A serious look gracing his face that strangely looked like the look his human shape often sported for once.

"my little one is at home, so it is kinda hard to produce him out of thin air" she just shook his head, giving him a look that spoke she understood he wasn't the brightest person ever. She order another drink before gulping it down.
"Claudius, each of us have our own secrets to hide, I don't think you're being completely truthful on everything but I am not pushing that am I?" she asked while looking at him. She knew being truthful had to work both ways, and she felt the witch was hiding something from her.

He looked her over, a frown braceing his face. He took a deep whiff of her shape. Takeing in the scents about.
" That doesn't explain why you only possess the scent of one changeling upon you." He smirked. Knowing he had her. This form was down right handy on occasions he thought as he sighed at her accusation.
" I do not know what it is that you think I'm not being truthful about, but may I dare to entertain your suspicions?" He asked as he waved her over to his corner booth out of ear range of others.

Zairre sighed running her fingers through her bangs before releaseing a small sigh, "I didnt mean for the David guy to leave just the other one that was being an ass. Comrade hates his bar getting mess up so I would like to keep my leather hide in piece," she laughed half hearted.
"I'm not doing to good cause I just found something out that I've not told anyone yet do you care if we talk else where some people dont need this information," she said eyes landing on Claudius first off cause if he found out Dark was the father and the fact she was pregent they would freak out and wanna seal them both. Then she hadnt told Dark yet just his brother Inudlal whom seemed to wanna seal the power of their child way once it was born.

((Sorry! Completely forgot I had someone waiting here. Stupid Bottom song))
Zahler nodded. It was still a shock to find this sort of thing out, but it didn't matter. What were they doing, comparing who had the more miserable life? What was the point. "Huh, I don't even understand why I'm trying to convince you I'm miserable. It's just stupid. Maybe instead of dwelling on the past we should think about making the future a better place. Who knows, you might find companions in those you though farthest from you," The whatsit said, scowling at his own stupidity. He pushed himself forward and gripped the man's hand, then frowned. "You're a mammal aren't you?" He said, not really knowing what his own words meant. They were important, he thought, but he didn't know why.

David sighed as he shook the man's hand for a moment before letting go. He nodded to his words.
" If your referring to my ... type of changeling. I am mammalian based. " He told him. Unsure if this is what he meant... or some other strange revelation. Either or human or changeling he was a mammal so this didn't matter. With this he produced a card from his coat and offered it up to the guy.
" I guess... if you ever need a hunter or detective.... you can give me a call." he told him. Sort of finding a friend in this... strange guy.

"Sure thing," Zahler replied, looking at his hand. A sudden realization dawned on him and he looked up. "Uh, what? I mean, yeah, I will. You know, I used to know a guy who had the same sort of job. Bit of an oddball really. Obsessed with mutton," The whatsit took the card and pocketed it, feeling better for finally having found a friend, someone he felt he could trust, even if they had just met. After a moment, the whatsit looked back in the direction of the bar and sighed. "Well, I should get back to work. Hope to see you again sometime," He said, turning and walking back the way he had come.

" Yeah, sure thing." David replied as he simply sat outside in the morning sun... he didn't feel like going back in and he decided... Well. He would wait out here for Alta to leave and join her in the walk home.

Alta just shook her head as claudius basically sniffed her like an animal. She slowly stretched her body out before relaxing an order a third drink for the night. she let her eyes meet claudius as she spoke.
"it's called taking a shower and then dancing with david. So of course his scent will be completely all over me." she shrugged a shoulder before she would reply to his other little statment about what he wasn't telling her.
"well I know you know more about whats going on with the dark witch but yet again you haven't told me all of it." she just stared at him.
-----
Kitsu just looked at zarrie and nodded. She took the girls arm and gently guided her to the back area where they could speak in peace. Kitsu had a worried look on her face as she looked at zarrie wondering what was wrong. She kept her hand lightly on zarrie's shoulder.
"tell me whats wrong" she spoke in a voice that said she was worried and would help out as much as she could.

" But the changeling is in your home, even your cloths would smell of it." He accused her as he eyed her a bit. He let his tail flick in annoyance as she questioned him. Hn... what to do.
" I honestly don't know what is going on with the dark witch... but. I know someone who might. If your genuine. Come to the tower in a few hours. I'll take you to him and you can speak anything you wish of him. Though after that. No more secrets from me. I might be cursed, but I'm not a fool. I have worked enough cases in my time to know the difference between a bullshit story and the truth." He told her as he flicked his tail once more and turned away from her.
" The day has come, and the bar is soon to close." He reminded her as he headed out of the facility and headed back to the tower in his human guise.

Zairre sighed as she was guided tired and worry lines showing under her eyes making her look like death some what.
"Um well you see I'm well pregent," she said looking at Kitsu with a frown, "I dont know of any that are going to be happy to find out aspecialy that Claudius guy hes gonna freak out more then Arlen and Inudlal did. Darks bother was talking like he was stupid and needing to have the offspring killed or sealed after birth due to the mixture of my blood it wont need a master or um partner like himself and dark," she said looking to Kitsu.
"I've not told him yet because I do not know what to say nor know how he is going to react to this new development. If i'm correct I'm 3 months along because I've put on weight and I'm sure hes thinking it's only due to the winter weather," she said tail flicking back and forth.

Alta just listen to claudius and gave a slight nod letting him know she would come to the tower to speak to the person. She was still relaxed in her seat as she watched claudius leave her mind working over what to do now. She didn't know where david went and she wanted to tell him what claudius offer. Shrugged slowly she stood up and made her way out of the bar, her mind on her case with claudius and then her clients. she sighed softly and knew if she didn't get any sleep soon she would look like the living dead until she did.
Alta had walked right by David not even noticing him because she was completely lost in thought. She was wondering who claudius was going to introduce her too, what the person actually knew that would be helpful. She also wanted to do alittle research on the dark witch so she knew more. She let out a small yawn.
"I doubt I'll be getting any sleep tonight" she muttered under her breath. --------
Kitsu stared at zairre in complete surprise about her being pregnant and then she looked worried about wht her friend said about others not being happy. She looked up into her friends eyes and gave her a sweet smile.
"congrats zairrie" she spoke as she gave the girl a hug and then kept her hands on the girls shoulders, a more serious look on her face.
"no one is going to harm the child. I'll help protect it and even if dark is a complete moron at times, but since he' the father he will be protective as hell over it." she gave zairre a reassuring smile as she stepped back just a bit to sit down.
"you're going to have to talk to him about him, the best bet with that one is to tell him straight out zairre, when the two of you are alone" she gave a small shrug " there is no use beating around the bush on that. " Kitsu thought of something slowly and grinned.
"I think I know someone else who will help protect your child. So don't worry about that" she nodded knowing the witch who was resting in her apartment would help.

"Someone else," she said a bit confused by Kitsu statment who else beside maybe Comrade who of course would something in return.
"Who else," she asked wondering a bit she knew a few of the others night creatures.

" What took you so long?" David asked as the woman walked right by him. He ran after her, scowling the whole while as they passed the shredded trash can's from his earlier temper tantrum. His violet eyes were upon her face, almost questioning her on what had happened within the bar.

ALta jumped a bit, stratled by david's voice. She stopped and blink as she look at him, she thought he had left already and was a bit surprise he was waiting outside for her. She gave him a smile and just shook her head before speaking.
"just talking with claudius. I thought you already left to head back to your place" she arched an eyebrow wondering why he had decided to stay of if whoever he was talking to just happen to leave when she was leaving.
-----
Kitsu gave zairre a smile. She knew everyone didn't trust corbin because of who he was but no one knew really what happened or exactly what he was put through. she did. she knew him better then the witches did.
"I'll bring him by tomorrow night, I promise he wil be willing to help protect your child" she gave zairre a gentle hug and a smile that said she was sure on what she said. She just needed to talk to corbin about it and hoped he would.

" I was talking to someone... hn. Anyway I'm not about to leave you here... especially with -HIM- seeing me with you." He told her as he crossed his arms and turned to start walking. Not telling her about him showing his marks to the other creature he had made friends with or anything of that sort.
