Well seems like Hunter and the Prince come in at a conversation talking about the bumbling reporter that is now following Ripper around. We also get to meet Ruby's uncle Ishmael.
I guess they can't be to forceful with the common folk that start poking their noses around. That might give the impression that they're trying to hide something.
I don't suppose that the Fey tracking Hunter might try to raid the kitchen to get at Hunter?
