When Alleya pointed out the abandoned hotel Niké turned his head to look. It honestly didn't look too bad, there would be plenty of room for everyone and if they were lucky, there could even be proper beds for everyone.

"Too obvious."

Niké glanced at Taurus, while that was true, it was in a more quiet part of the town and too obvious didn't have to be bad, others wouldn't expect them to pick somewhere to obvious but he didn't argue with the man, Theo had put him in charge and either way, Niké had no intentions of staying too long, he was going to do his job as quickly as possible and get out of here so in a way, he didn't feel as if he had a say in the new location.

"There we go, let's look here."

After having walked for a bit longer Taurus stopped and pointed towards a cellar who he then proceeded to open. As Niké stepped closer to look down into the cellar the stench hit him and he took a step back while wrinkling his nose and looking over at Alleya.

He listened to Alleya’s protests as Taurus simply jumped into the cellar with no hesitation and Niké shook his head softly. He knew he had to follow the man, he couldn't let him go down there alone.

“You can stay here but keep your back against the wall so no one is able to sneak up behind you and if you see anything even slightly suspicious then call for us, okay?” He looked at the woman with a serious expression, while he wasn't a people person, he did want to make sure that everyone around him stayed safe and as annoying as Alleya could be, he didn't wish her any harm.

With a sigh the man then jumped into the cellar after Taurus while muttering, “Wait up a little…”

The stench was horrible, the smell of smoke was too much, even for him, and mixed with the smell of decay, Niké felt the urge to throw up but he had to swallow and keep it in, even if the smell had just gotten worse when he’d jumped in after Taurus. As Alleya had pointed out, it was small and not really ideal for a gang filled with different people who each had their own personalities. If someone got annoyed at another there wouldn't be the opportunity to walk away and be alone for a bit.

“Are you certain about this? I don't mean to argue with you but I don't really see how this is like the current location ‘with a few better qualities’,” the grey-haired man said as he looked around a bit, it was pretty dark, of course that was something they could do something about but still. And not to talk about the smell, it would take ages to air out.

Niké followed after Taurus deeper into the cellar. Now putting a hand over his nose and mouth as the smell was getting stronger and just as he was about to make another attempt of convincing the other man that they should leave and just forget about the cellar, a third voice could be heard.

"What's this? Boys in my cellar?"

The sight of an old naked man made him frown and he glanced at Taurus who was telling him to go while taking off towards the exit himself. He didn't need to tell him twice but as long as the old man wasn't chasing him, he wasn't going to run and splash himself with more of the disgusting cellar water than necessary.

“Sorry mister!” Niké called, figuring that the old, and probably high, man wasn't much of a threat, nor did he seem aggressive.

With quick steps he made his way to the exit, glancing over his shoulder to make sure that the old man stayed idle. He felt relieved by the presence of the old man actually, that meant that Taurus wouldn't even have to consider this place. One thing was sure and that was that if the gang did relocate to a place similar to the cellar, Niké would be leaving. There was no amount of money in the world that they could pay him to keep working undercover in the gang and live in a cellar smelling of smoke and decay. It was almost enough to make him never want to pick up a cigarette ever again. Almost.

Once he reached the exit he pulled himself out and glared at Taurus a bit, muttering, “Last time I followed you into a stinking cellar.”

It felt as if the stench was stuck to his clothes now and just the thought of being down in that cellar with the smell and the old man made him gag. Next time Taurus wanted to explore a similar place, he was on his own, no matter how much of a risk it would be for him, if he was going to be an idiot, he could be an idiot on his own.

“Hotel may be obvious but it's a hell of a lot better than a cellar, I can assure you,” he told him. Yes, he had promised himself to not get too involved with the new location since he wasn't going to be around for long but ignoring his promises to himself seemed to be the new standard for him, he would tell himself one thing and then proceed to do pretty much the opposite.

Niké huffed a little, annoyed at the fact that his shoes and pants had gotten wet and not to mention the fact that the water stank. He smelled like death and it was Taurus’s fault for jumping blindly into a cellar. Now of course, as if that wasn't enough, Alleya had to open her big mouth and annoy him further.

"I think you guys need new pants and a shower first."

Niké turned his head towards Alleya as he snapped back at her, “And I think you need t- Aw you're just a little baby aren't you?” His voice softened immediately when he saw the small kitten that Alleya was holding, always having had a soft spot for animals, especially baby animals.

He moved closer, completely forgetting the fact that he was stinking or that he had been in a bad mood earlier, instead he leaned down to pet the kitten.

“Where did you come from, huh? A little one like you shouldn't be out here all alone,” he mumbled while petting the kitten.

When younger he had always been feeding stray cats in his neighborhood, something his mom hated as there were always cats outside but she never said anything directly to him as it had been clear how much he loved those cats. He wasn't a people person but he definitely was an animal person and right now Alleya was standing with the most adorable little cat in her arms.

((Sorry it's kinda short heh))

"Oh great, a cat. That's what we need."

Niké glared at Taurus a little, anyone who had something bad to say about animals, he had something against. Taurus had seemed like a nice guy before but since they had left the gang’s location he seemed to be in a bad mood.

He rolled his eyes slightly and started following after the two others, staying next to Alleya and the cat. “You're keeping her, right?” He asked her, if she wasn't then he was more than willing to take the cat off her hands.

Once they reached the house with the clothesline Niké glanced around a bit, it was quite around here, not many people so stealing a pair of pants wouldn't be any problem, socks too probably since his current ones were soaked, so were his shoes but there wasn't much he could about those now, unless he had the luck of finding shoes his size just lying around.

The clothes hanging on the clothesline wasn't exactly his style but he couldn't be picky, if it didn't smell like decay then it was good enough to wear so he quickly snagged a pair of pants and socks from the clothesline.

“I’ll go change somewhere so I can get rid of this damn smell…” he told them before looking around again, this time for somewhere to change. Niké walked away from them for a bit before spotting a shed that he walked in behind and quickly changed into the clean clothes.

Niké leaned his back against the chest once he’d changed and he let out a loud sigh. These three days sure would be long. He didn't know what Theo had been thinking, putting three very different personalities together, surely he had to realize that there would be problems in the group.

He walked back, leaving his old clothes in a pile behind the shed, he felt as if the smell was still there, oh how he wished for a hot warm shower right now. Maybe the few years of the streets had made him a bit too comfortable, before he had been used to going weeks without showering sometimes, not that it hadn't been disgusting back then but he had been used to it back then.

As he joined the other two again he heard them talking about the hotel and Niké fully agreed with Alleya, at this rate, someone would just end up pissing off another and fighting was the last thing that they needed.

“I’m with Alleya, something to eat and some sleep would be nice,” he said, crossing his arms a bit before adding, “What if you two go and check out the hotel, make sure that there aren't any squatters there and I’ll go see if I can find us something to eat?”

His pale gaze switched back and forth between the two a little, hoping that they would agree, he could use some time to himself, currently the cat was the only one he wasn't annoyed with. Taurus because he was an idiot, at least currently, hopefully it would pass. Alleya, he couldn't say why he was annoyed with, he just had this feeling of annoyance towards her at the moment for no reason.
