[ Don't worry, Steve, Drake's used to being subtle around the Displaced. His voice is a little wry as he offers a greeting -- he'd say it's not usually as bad around here as all this, but. It kind of is, just in different ways than 'monster invasion.' ]
Drake. Welcome to New Amsterdam.
[ It's not long before he peers around a corner and sees a pack of creatures feeding on a corpse. Nothing they can do for that guy, unfortunately. He holds up a hand to tell Steve to stop, signals for him to turn the other way to cut through an alley on the opposite side of the street. It's a good thing he's been 'patrolling' before now and knows which ones go through and which don't, in this area. It's a slight detour but he can't take on... four? No.
What he didn't imply is that they shouldn't look the other way, though, the way they're not going, and the woman peeks. She draws back with a sharp gasp, expression horrified, and Drake quickly turns back to shush her softly. It's not without compassion, but he desperately doesn't want her to draw attention to them. ]
