"Lucky..." she muttered quietly under her breath. For a while there it had felt like she was nothing but made of things she couldn't eat. How her great-grandparents had managed not to kill her with garlic when she was a child was beyond her.
"Yeah, pretty much, although Old Town is only so safe." After all, Jean was here, and he was arguably the most dangerous thing in the city in a few ways. Axel was objectively pretty so he'd be safe from any real danger from Jean, most likely. But death was very much not the worst thing Jean could inflict, as Bree well knew. Her eyes snapped to the collar around her wrist, which she quickly straightened to remove.
"I mean, it's fine once you learn what to look for and what to avoid, but if you're new..." She shrugged. "Downtown is fine during the day, mostly, just don't follow anyone into any alleys and try not to get mugged. They keep it subtle, but not if they get a whiff of supernatural on you. Weres will be able to smell it on you, definitely. Fae can probably see it. Vampires, kinda depends on the vamp." She shoved the tiny collar in the nearest drawer. She should have thrown the stupid thing out ages ago.
"I mean, no hyenas that I know of," she said with a shrug. "Jean might know more? But he also might not, he's kind of a homebody..." she mused to herself. Also, the information would cost, and she neither wanted to do that to this poor asshole or put herself on the line for him. She had much better things to ask Jean for, if she was going to be putting herself through that. "There's a lot of shifters around, but they stick in their own species-groups, mostly, from what I can tell, and a solid like eighty percent of them are involved in gangs and organized crime. It's bad blood." Bad blood that she had spilled on several occasions.
She stopped what she was doing, turning slightly to stare at the man, dumbfounded. "Oh, shit, are you homeless? Here?" Well, she supposed he was better off than the only other homeless person Bree knew. "Well, I guess at least you can turn into a hyena, although you better watch out for the cops if you're gonna be wandering around like that..." She knew from hopping randomly on a bus to come to Valesport with almost no plan. She couldn't throw a lot of stones there. "So, what, like, you weren't homeless, and then you randomly came to a new town to be homeless? On account of cheap housing?" She sat back down onto a stool, leaning onto the counter and staring at him in horrified fascination. "That's all downtown, you know, and like eighty percent of it is lures by vampires. My mom lives in like one of the few non-vampire run apartment buildings downtown, and let me tell you, vacancies do NOT come up often."
