Bo hadn't held her breath waiting around for a red ribbon to appear. Sure, she looked for them but she wasn't biting her nails. It paid to hope for the best but expect the worst. So she was happy to see the red ribbon but not dying of joy.
Getting into the Lazy Drake after that was more interesting. She had to actually get some decent clothes so she wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. Easier said than done. Eventually she just stole some that fit her well enough before heading in. Finding her new "partner" was much easier. "Half of me wasn't even expecting you to do jack shit." She said with a grin. But here they were in the Drake itself.
Bo was definitely getting some food here, even if it hurt her pockets.

It hadn't been long after their first meeting until Scarlet tied a ribbon. She had a job for her new partner, one that would provide a small test of how serious they were. It was quite a simple job, just finding some dirt on a noble for another noble.
She was sat in one of the corners of the Lazy Drake, a cleaner set of clothes than normal on. The smell of properly cooked food made her mouth water and she gazed at the plates upon other patron's tables. Her eyes were still flitting over the various patrons when the other girl sat down across from her "I wasn't expecting much from you either...but here you are..."
She leaned on the table again, propping her head on her hand "Got something easy for you! A simple case of finding something slimy about a noble. You know find out if he practices a certain kink...or something. Think you can do that or is it too hard?"
Bo was busy waving down someone to order the cheapest thing they had on the menu while Nox was talking. But Bo had been listening, and she laughed. "Seriously? What am I supposed to do? Sneak under his bed and wait?" The thought was hilarious. That and the fact she'd learned some nobles sent each other love letters from another time.
"It'll be easy as shit." But then she was distracted when a bowl of soup was placed before her. Bo wasted no time in scarfing it down the moment it was there "So I'll find out what the idiot does and give you the details, yeah? Tell me my target." She managed to say between mouthfuls.

Scarlet raised an eyebrow at the other girl's suggestion of gathering information. No that method doesn't work, Scarlet had learnt that the hard way. Most of the time hiding under beds didn't work out well, her brother had taught her that before leaving. She gave Bo a smile none the less.
Even after her few years on the street Scarlet still couldn't get used to how some people wolfed down food without any manners. She wrinkled her nose "That is the jist of it..." God the noise she made was disgusting "A noble prick by the name of ------, a runty scrawny guy plays music for nobles at parties. Just find out what you can and then come looking for me..." A plate of boiled potatoes and mince was dropped in front of her. When was the last time she had had decent food.
She carefully started to eat her food, keeping some attention across the other patrons. Flicking her eyes back at Bo, Scarlet smiled again "So...how long you been prowling these streets without me coming across you?"
