Ariadne returns the leer with a glare. Forgetting for a moment that she's talking with a fellow Guardian who is playing a role.
"We work a set of curtains though.." Her voice trails for a moment.
"Though not the big curtains." Time for a phrase set
"We need to know who owned that place and if someone was renting it." She eventually answers his question about a job.

The bum nodes, grinning as the pretty lady gets it.
"Rosaries has a sale on large curtains."
"The government keeps tabs on all of us, they watch us good. I'll bet the police have a giant file on me, full of my previous owners and rental agreements, course, that's nothing on the power company. They've got the information on everyone. You pay one bill to them, and they put a little bug in you, and they know everything."

"I'm not sure how easy it will be to get that information though." Ariadne glances around for a moment. "I could lie my way in, maybe cheat a bit to learn some more." She shrugs though.
She looks at the bum. "You know anyone that could help us?"

"No one talks to old bum. No one gives him any money, no friends. Everything is someone else's. I can ask anyone you want to though. And I can lie and cheat with the best of them. Just don't stop talking to me. No one talks to me. Please talk to me." The bum's voice gets quiet, desperate.

"That's what we're here for. Someone to talk to because we can't with everyone else." There's the feeling that if the bum wasn't so dirty Ariadne would put a hand on his arm to express her sentiments.
"Don't worry about that though. I can help you a bit if things are rough." Ariadne wonders for a moment if Rose has a job. She's always assumed that the others had some non-descript job or something useful to the Order.

"Thanks. 'ppreciate it. I should go. I'll ask around about place. Maybe someone knows something." The bum gets up quickly, the change rattling around himside his jacket, before he bugs off quickly.

Ariadne watches the bum...Rose quickly leave. She finishes her drink sometime later and leaves as well. Wondering if Rose has heard of certain factions and if he needs to have a watcher to make sure he doesn't go off the deepend. We can't have another Henry, not yet
