DANIEL BIRD - - -
Eventually, they reached a nondescript building and Daniel parked at a meter. He was tempted to grab his badge and handcuffs but decided against it. Not that kind of evening. Kai led him up to the sixth floor and into an apartment. It was like so many others Daniel had seen. Without, y'know, the corpses. At least, as far as Daniel knew. He always felt a little uncomfortable inside of other people's houses. Because most of the time they were for scrutiny and every little detail was used to build an idea of who the person was. And not that Daniel didn't want to know Kai, it was just strange when the owner was there. And he was alone.
hello? the police? ]]

[ @zaeridad ; yeah! i mean this isn't earth so no like 'earth' languages but there are five languages that have kind of broken off and branched out there is the original angelic tongue, which is what the oldest and most traditional on Ellery speak and it is obviously the angel tongue. but most young angels aren't fluent. it's, at least in my head, french-italian like? then there is a vampyric language which is more germanic sounding? but melodic like an irish or scottish accent too. so german-like, i guess. and then there is the fire tongues, which is jinn language. each of the three tribes has their own dialect and each one is very wide-ranging. it's kind of like hebrew or the way hebrew sounds, but also a bit spanish? that's kind what it's like and then there is the old human language, which is almost russian like, although it's fallen so out of fashion on the islands that virtually no one speaks it. it's a dead language. and then the fifth is the common tongue that would obviously just be english.

-- kai nicollier ; v a m p y r e.
He had noticed Daniel's headache at the club, but assumed it was because of the drugs, lights, and noise. Granted, that probably didn't help, but by the looks of it, it was likely more chronic than previously seeming. "I can get that, but let me try something," Kai said, standing again and going behind Daniel's chair. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. It's, uh... hmm. I forgot the word. But you'll know." Kai lightly put his fingers on the back of his neck, feeling the bumps of his spine. "Lean forward," he said, pressing a little on each node while he mumbled to himself, until on the more sore one, he pressed hard, and kept it there. The T4... a pressure point, there it was. The T4 vertabrae was linked to migraines, and pressing on it for 15-30 seconds relieved them unless they were based in the sinuses. But this wasn't a cold, it appeared to be stress.
The kettle began to boil, and Kai retreated smoothly, as if he hadn't be that intimately close with someone he just met and then threatened. He began to scoop coffee grounds into a press.
"I'll still get the Advil--is four okay? Two usually doesn't do anything." It was weird, how Kai had calmed once being in his own (safe) apartment. He was on edge earlier, and then nervous, and then scared, but he had control over both Daniel and himself here. Not over the cat; the only boss of Colette was Colette. ... And Kai, but only at meal times.
As the coffee steeped, he meandered off into the apartment for a moment only to return with four Advil, which he set in front of Daniel. He also got him a glass of water before he poured the coffee into two mugs. One he also set before Daniel, and the sugar was already on the table, so Kai got half and half from the fridge. It was all very domestic. He put three teaspoons of sugar in his coffee and added cream, sipping while it was still burning hot before speaking.
"He's not a high up, he's just a recruiter. We get a lot of them," he starts, talking about the man in the photo Daniel had slipped him earlier. "With the amount of minors in there... what can you expect? And at this point, I don't know what they are being groomed for. Usually it would be for trafficking, but with what's been happening here, I wouldn't put other things past them." He took another sip of his coffee, closing his eyes more a moment. "That girl you spoke to, she's been talking with him. I tried to help her when she first started coming, to no avail. She'll be missing soon."

[ kai is so domestic god i love him
well all angels of all colors can come from ellery. same with every other race. so ezra being a not white angel is all good if you wanted him to be from ellery? however, especially in the last couple hundred years there has been a lot of migrating and moving of people from every race to the different islands, so there is a large culture blend. so it would make total sense for kai to have grown up in a remote part of ellery. ]

DANIEL BIRD - - -
When Kai stood and began to move behind his chair, Daniel tensed and flinched. But Kai's hands were soft and warm against his neck and he couldn't help but shiver, goosebumps trailing up his spine and across his arms. Deciding he had no other choice than to lean forward, Daniel did as he was told. And then Kai seemed to find the problem bump in his spine and pressed, hard. At first, pain spiked through his skull, but then the pain seemed to fizzle away. Daniel moaned as pain relief flooded his senses and the throbbing behind his eyes finally went away. For a moment, the tension melted away and his stress was gone. Daniel rubbed the back of his neck, fingers brushing the place where Kai's had just been. "Whoa," he murmured. "That was amazing, thank you," Daniel said, watching Kai pad comfortably around the kitchen.
He nodded at the mention of four Advil. Probably safer to just take them, even though this was the most relaxed his neck had felt in weeks. And for just a moment, Daniel let himself enjoy the relief, knowing it'd creep back in eventually. He popped the four Advil in his mouth, washing it down with a swig of water. He nodded in thanks for the coffee, which was piping hot. He wrapped his fingers around the mug, warmth seeping through. He reached out for the half and half, pouring a bit in, just to turn the dark coffee to a rich toffee color and added two small spoonfuls of sugar. It was black enough to have some bite to it but sugary enough to be soothing against his tongue.
Daniel took a sip, flipping open his notebook and began scribbling a few illegible notes. Well illegible to anyone who didn't read Daniel Bird writing. "We assumed as much. But our running theory is that he's a recruiter for multiple people, one looking for se-x trafficking purposes and the other, well, maybe trafficking, but could be something else," he said, sliding out the photos of the missing children. "All of these children were taken from their homes, which differs from some of the others who were abducted off the street or went missing in the clubs." Part of Daniel hated his job. The fact that the tiny brunette earlier might never be seen again, or found somewhere in a dumpster, or wrapped in a gold chain and fed on by greedy vampyres made his stomach turn.
He sighed, shaking his head. Realizing they'd lapsed into silence, he looked up at Kai. "Sorry, lost my train of thought," he said, trying to hide how much these cases were bothering him. "Anyway, do you have any idea who he works for? Any connections to any other locals in the area? Other vampyre families or known traffickers?" Daniel asked, tugging his mind back on track as he flipped to a fresh page, ready to jot down any names or details.

Leighton Vallaway ;; Nephilim
Leighton stepped after him toward the mysterious back room, her eyes adjusting to the well-stocked armory he had. This man really was built on caution and self-defense. She couldn’t say she didn’t relate, as she also had her own private section of her closet that stored a few weapons. Definitely smaller and not quite as stocked as Kjorn’s, but still. Leighton could relate to all of this as her observant gaze studied the various blades and ranged weapons like she was taking a tour. Although, she didn’t fully step further inside until Kjorn announced that she was free to take whatever was needed for the battle to come. And it would come. Maybe faster than they knew. Preparations like these were a must and she was feeling very relieved that she found this man. Leighton was armed to an extent, that much was right, but it would be nice and more beneficial to snatch a few more items for the road. While Kjorn was arming himself, the nephilim instantly seemed to advance toward the daggers.
While the woman did know how to perform combat with a sword, she had always prepared daggers. Sometimes duel ones, if she had the option. She did that day, Leighton particularly eyeing a pair of intricate, curved daggers. They were impressive, as was everything else that was being shown off along the walls like prizes. Carefully plucking them from their places, she slid them into their respective scabbards before attaching them to either hip. It was around that time when Kjorn pointed out that he disliked firearms, and she could respect that. “No problem here.” She assured him with sharp nod to herself, for if she were going to use a long-ranged weapon, she would choose the bow every time. If she had to use a gun, whether it was a pistol or rifle or whatever, she could. Leighton could pretty much use any kind of weapon to her advantage some way or another, but she was glad she had her preferences all wrapped up like gifts that day.
Thanking him whenever she took the vest, Leighton went through the motions of changing in the bathroom. Slipping on that ballistics vest made the reality set in even more. The danger could be predictable or even highly unpredictable. There wasn’t a guarantee that they would get out of there alive, much less without a scratch. But Leighton didn’t dwindle on the alternatives, snapping back into focus and following Kjorn out to the garage. The smaller vehicle was the chosen transport, Leighton slipping into the passenger side and glancing over at the man in the driver’s seat when he began to speak. Tightening her jaw at the words, she nodded in understanding and agreement. Asriel’s humanity came into the topic, Kjorn swearing on everything that he would not let them take his son’s wings, not that day and not any day.
I won’t either. Leighton promised to herself, studying Kjorn’s face with sympathy before her focus strayed back to the road. He suggested gaining aid for the journey, declaring that he knew just who to seek out. Leighton nodded but didn’t ask who it was at the time. She probably would’ve, although her thoughts gradually became consumed by Asriel again, and she absentmindedly stared out the window for a while.
The car was pulled to a stop outside a fine manor, Leighton slipping out and observing the exterior in admiration. “This man we’re seeking.” She began, looking over to Kjorn in wonder. “Who is it?” The nephilim finally inquired curiously, wondering who it was who resided in such a fancy home and area. She wasn’t sure who to expect, but Kjorn seemed to have faith in him regardless and so she was following his lead. As they approached, Leighton’s eyes flickered to the porch and she saw him.
Bronn F**king Blackwater.
Leighton’s face changed instantly and so did her mood, apparently. Both astonishment and annoyance slapped her face. She recognized the fella, all right. She wouldn’t call them friends and barely even acquaintances, although Bronn there may think otherwise. They had met a while back, kind of running into each other at random places. Each time, he would attempt to flirt with Leigh, using dumb lines or even sarcastic comments that would end up making it worse. Shot down every single time, and yet every time she saw his face after, Bronn would have this oh, look who it is face with some kind of smirk. A real charmer, that one. That was sarcasm, by the way. That man and his snarky quips were a constant companionship, like a pair. It was like you couldn’t get a partner in crime like him without getting all the irritations that came along with it.
She stopped walking and just couldn’t hold back the biggest eye roll.
“Oh, you’ve got to be f**king kidding me.”
