Alex's neat bird familiar will be able to track a man with said insignia who has had a successful day of stealing from the innocent, and as a result has become rather rowdy and oblivious for the evening. The bird will track him as he has a few at The Hobby Horse, and there are even a few moments where he stares directly at the bird, curious, but not nearly all that suspicious. Just enough to give Alex a good heart attack.
And as he eventually stumbles back to a fleet of three merchant ships out on the docks. They're fairly nice merchant ships — not the sort you'd expect a bunch of rowdy pirates to be commandeering — but all the same, when the familiar gets a closer look at the flag it's flying, it will see that the edges are fraying, a layer is peeling, just barely concealing its disguise.
That is most definitely a strongly reinforced fleet of pirate ships. Success in pickpocketing breeds a dangerous pride, though, and by by the end of the night, there isn't even anybody standing guard. It would be very easy to slip on board to investigate unnoticed.
