drunks, small pets, and other easy victims we can go after later.

Finding victims is not the problem. Killing them is not a problem. It's what happen
after the townsfolk find dead bodies with their necks ripped open drained of blood. Yes, we can easily subdue a drunk in an alley. A lynch mob, not so much. And going after pets doesn't make it all that much better. Yes, it's more plausible that somebody would write off a missing or mutilated pet as having been eaten by a wolf or something. But how long until word gets around? How long until somebody notices the kobold, who probably sticks out like a sore thumb already, strangely seems to be in the area when pets and people disappear?
We have friends. Friends who apparently care about us, accept that we're a kobold, and accept that we're a drunkard who wakes up in alleys. And yet they're still our friends. If they find out that we decided it was better to become a murderer than to trust them with our problem...we're going to lose them.
And it would be absolutely ridiculous to lose them over this when there doesn't even need to be a problem here. We've already confirmed that we can buy blood. Nothing is stopping us from continuing to do that, and if we're
paying for it, our supplier becomes an ally because they're regularly benefiting from giving it to us...in a way that is completely legal and not scary.
Go to the fair, make some money, then find a quiet safe place to confide in our friends what happenedThey're going to find out sooner or later anyway, and it will be
much better if they find out because we told them than if they walk in on us with our teeth in someone's neck or if they find out that there's a lynch mob after us.
