A breeze lifts Horus's shaggy mane as he crouches in a barren street, a paper in hand. A false lead. Go figure. Of course closing in on the head of this rebellious Stygian cult was not going to be easy. But damn, it would be nice if he could actually make something resembling progress one of these days. With a heavy sigh, he straps Saqr across his back as he rises. He gives a sharp whistle; moments later, the flutter of feathers signals Perry's return to his shoulder. Well then. Back to headquarters. |

On one hand, getting a little help could cut her pay since she'd have to split it. On the other hand, it would mean she'd have an easier time actually getting paid and also not stabbed by a heretic (or were they blasphemers? She wasn't sure which was which), which was the more important part. But still. The money. Though her family would never forgive her if she came home paid slightly well-paid and dead instead of poor and alive. Godammit. So that was really the entire thought process that led to Gabrielle aiming for the first guard she saw that looked like he was doing fuck all. "Hey! Hey, goldie! With the bird!" |

"Huh?" Horus turns around at the call, and nearly drops his jaw to the floor at the sight of the woman waving him down. He blinks twice, hoping to clear his mind before it could go into the gutter. Okay. Be professional. Don't want to land the city guard in a whole mess of shit. "Yeah? Need something from me, miss?" |

Gabrielle didn't miss his reaction, but there was no point saying anything about it. Honestly, if she saw someone far bigger than her bearing down on her with intent, she'd probably do the same. "Possibly. How good are you with that sti-" she double checked, "-sorry, spear?" |

"Heh." Horus grins and pulls the spear off his back, placing the wide bladed end down on the street while Perry fluttered his wings in discomfort. His other hand came up to stroke the falcon's head. "Yep. Squad captain in the City Guard. Need my spear for something?" |

"You too if you're a package deal," Gabrielle said promptly, waving at the bird. "Someone needs to holds it all fancy like, after all. Anyway, how do you feel about Stygian cults? And no, this isn't an aggressive 'do you know where you'll spend eternity' sales pitch, don't give me that look." She indicated the sword at her hip. "I think I have a lead on one, but I'm just a bounty hunter. I figured it'd be fucking stupid to go in alone." |

"A package deal it is. Myself, my spear, and Perry are all yours." Horus steps closer, excitement rushing through him. An actual lead on this cult business? From an... attractive lady? This has to be too good to be true. But it is too good to pass up, as well. "Funny you mention the cult. Been trying to get a bead on them for a few weeks now." |

"You know, I'm just going to assume that 'the spear' is the name of the bird and you're just overly familiar with weapon names, right?" Gabrielle said, holding out her hand to him so they could shake on it. "Not surprised you're having trouble, but it's easy to get close enough to grab one of the nutters if you look the part," she said dryly, indicating her own appearance. "After that, it only takes a few cracks around the head until they cry about everything. Which is kind of hilarious in a really dark way, since they have the habit of trying to eat poison before you can grab them and talk big about 'resting in glory' and shit like that. I try get a few kicks in then, to send them out properly. |

Horus can't help but laugh and grin at the light jab as he responds with a firm handshake. "No, no, bird's Perry, spear's Saqr. Please don't judge on the creativity of the names, I hear it all the time." He sighs and nods. "Yeah, they avoid me, as you could figure. City guardsman and all. Never managed to get my hands on one. Just followed a bunch of bunk leads, though I can't complain about where this one led. Although, can't say I'd be so... brutal about getting info from them." |

"And that's why I got a lead and you didn't," Gabrielle said, smiling brightly at him. She turned and set off at a brisk pace, beckoning for him to follow. "It's a small group, probably a splinter of a larger one, if I had to guess," she said, once he was walking alongside her. "They've been graverobbing from the fifth and fourth, but their little nest is in the third. Guess it's easier to hide there 'cause it's so empty. Anyway, they took the body of someone whose family is quite fuckin' upset about it, and that's where I come into it." |
