As per this month's faction reward, the Hillingdon Clan will successfully take the territory of Hounslow from the Redbright Institute.

Here is how that comes to pass and the agreements made to make it possible...

Given that Sirius is still considered a criminal at large, he's reluctant to blindly team up with random Redbright members. That, he figures, could go south in a number of different ways that he didn't want to experiment with. So instead, he's opted for a different method.

Currently in his dog form, he's hanging out around the area, figuring he'll just wait for another team or pick someone at random and follow them. It would accomplish something similar, right? At least in terms of getting to know the area.

He's really got to do something about this whole being wanted thing.

Nightingale is busy. Classes have started, and although he'd be happy to help escort Hillingdon members around the area, no one seems to be asking. And as such, he doesn't exactly feel compelled to go searching for someone to escort either.

He sets himself up on a bench in a rather common area. Balancing a carryout coffee on one arm of the bench as he sorts out his paperwork before him. Given the fact that he's sitting doing his grading outside of the Redbright Institute, it's almost definitely obvious he's a professor at the school. And a rather eccentric one at that it would seem, as he sits there in his three-piece suit, a silver-topped gentleman's cane leaning on the bench beside him.

Sirius has mixed feelings about being at the school, as it provides a sense of painful nostalgia for his own school days, which at this point were arguably the best of his life. But it's a good place to find Redbright members to follow, so he'll grin and bear it. Or maybe just bear it.

He really should have asked more about who to approach. Although a professor grading papers might be the best place to start, and so Sirius trots over, watching from a distance.

Nightingale can sense the presence of another there with him as Sirius approaches. Another non-human, that is. Of course, this is not cause for immediate alarm. He does work at a school for the supernaturally gifted, after all. It does mean that when he looks up in the direction of the feeling itself, however, he knows that that is not a dog he sees.

"You're welcome to join me," he calls out, before quirking something of a smirk at him and continuing, "I promise I won't bite."

There's always that initial instinct to run that Sirius has to ignore. They've allied with Redbright, he has to remind himself, so if someone notices him, he doesn't have to run right away. Instead he trots over, allowing his tail to wag slightly. His nose twitches, catching the scent of magic and figures the man must be a witch or something. Or maybe it's just bleed over from where they are. He's not really in a position to inquire.

He pauses in front of Nightingale, looking up and giving another wag of his tail, as if to say hello.
