The Playmate found an empty spot at one of the table and gestured to the other two to join him. His usual candour was replaced with his natural affect - an almost imperceptible melancholy in his expression, like Yuan was suffering from some nameless grief. He picked mindlessly at the food set on the tables while his companions made themselves at ease.
"I'll try to not take up too much of your time," he offered. "I have signed up with Loki to go after the smuggling ring. It's outside the Wards, though, and so far only another person signed up."
His gaze drifted to Victor, remembering their conversation at the Summer Games. "You said you were a hunter, and knew how to clean up." His eyes then drifted to Gavin. "Your reputation as a guide precedes you." The Beast looked down at the wicked talons for a moment, letting the comment remain silent before looking up.
"I'm asking for your help. Practical skills are invaluable Outside."

"Yeah, I don't seem to follow the path provided so much do I?" he rhythmically waves the fingers of the clawed hand Yuan was staring at, setting the blades into a simple dance meant either to fully entrance or snap the Peacock out of the lingering gaze. Gavin didn't care which.
"You probably didn't see me in the Test of Guile then. Me fighting tends to be very flashy, glamour heavy, and direct. I could probably deal vicious rending wounds, but they wouldn't be nearly my best. I have one Contract I could use out there and the rest would shred me, even my kith ability would be a huge risk. At a minimum I'd need a grizzly bear or a horse to be in reach to open up one more option." He did not look optimistic at the idea of being useful to Yuan. "Without contracts, I got my ass kicked by Kai."

Victor took in a sharp breath and shook his head
"Game I've hunted. People? That's a different story. I tend to come in after the bodies hit the floor."
He smirked. It was an apologetic gesture
"'Sides, I already signed my name up to help She-Wolf with the spies. They might be loyal to the gentry but they're still mundies, and that's definitely gonna require cleanup in things go awry. Not sure where the numbers are at now, but there weren't too many names under that hunt either when I last looked, and I'm pretty sure I signed after you. If I could be in two places at once I'd come, but given the choice, the spies seem to me the one most likely to need my skillset."

Tr-r-r-r-a. Talons hit the table in a fluid motion that set Yuan's hair on edge.
That was a shot and a miss. He hid his disappointment behind his general air of sadness. He was tempted to just stand up and leave, but decided that some courtesies should still be observed. Considering this was an Autumn Coronation and he was flooded by two Mantles of Fear, making his own wither and fall. He turned to the giant with yellow eyes.
"A shame. I'm Yuan."
