as he flew along side the man, he stopped when he stopped, but made sure to never stay in one place too long. He watched as he made encounters with 2 individuals, each a few minutes apart and nothing seemed particularly oputstanding about their conversations. However, he noticed that each one was further from the center area of the city. He wasnt staying within his bosses normal territory. Joshua watched as he waited, his three guards keeping a close eye out. He hoped he didnt stand out, he wish he had more time to properly plan, but the so called queen wanted this done quickly and quietly.
he waited in a tree, for several minutes. Joshua wished he could smoke a cig to pass the time, but he couldnt risk getting caught by the smell even if he was in human form. He ruffled his feathers and preened himself, a habit he had learned from being stuck in raven form on stake outs. it was a very good relaxation technique, and he found it very quick and easy to do. He watched as the guards began their own breaks, each taking a smoke or a swig of some kind, but they never let themselves fully off guard.
after a little while, roughly 30 minutes a vehicle would drive up, and a hand would reach out taking something from his target, Joshu couldnt see what it was, or the face of the person giving it to the man. But regardless, he had enough evidence to tell the Queen her subordinante was dirty. He took off having everything he needed and made his way back to her hide out. he landed on the roof and returned to his human form minutes later. He waited again, before she emerged in her elegence. Joshua informed her of what he saw and she paid him handsomely, He looked her up and down before he turned away. She said something only for his ears, but following that, he smiled and jumped from the tall roof before he turned back into a bird and soared off into the night to return to his guild hall in the mountains.
