The main thing to note is there isn't a hunters guild, other than Game/Animal hunting in this City as it's deemed a somewhat neutral location (more on this later). The guild houses themselves will be more based on trades, these are often rather grand buildings due to the level of investments that would be made into them. Similar to a tavern the particular guilds insignia would often be hanging outside the front of the building on a wooden sign. Outside most guilds will be public notice boards about events/opportunities etc.
With regards to people, the main traffic will be those heading into and out of guild houses these could be anything from guild members or anyone making requests from particular guilds, which again could be anything from a peasant to a noble, dependent on the guild. For example a noble isn't likely to visit an armourer's guild.
I was going to have a pickpocket run into Allura with a message from Lance & Irvine in my post but if you want to do it in yours I wouldn't mind. ^_^
The message will be pretty generic as the pickpocket would be part of a group sent out to try and find us seeing as Lance & Irvine have no clue where they are. The message would mainly entail that they wanted to make sure Allura was safe, along with the promise (or threat, however you want to perceive it :P) that they'll find her. Whether Allura chooses to share the contents of the note with Akira is up to you I can work with it either way.
