Under a different set of circumstances, Vander's actions may have been interpreted for what they were; a concerned woman trying to make sure another person was all right. But as she took in the expression on Audrey's face, the deeply unsettled stare, she realized that her efforts had not been perceived as an act of concern. The Zone Alpha woman's hand moved up, instinctively protecting the opening of her purse, as if she was worried Vander would reach into it right then and there. [B]"I'm...fine. What do you want." 

Make no mistake, there was a small part of Vander's mind that wondered just how much money there was in that purse. Had Audrey unthinkingly set it down in the club, how much was inside? Enough to buy more than a single day's supply of Lucid? Probably. But that part of Vander's mind was small in comparison to the much more human side of her. And that part was far more concerned with how she was currently being perceived. Instead of a fellow human concerned for her well-being, Audrey saw a grotesquely woman from the Beta districts. Someone not to be trusted. Vander took a step back, giving Audrey her space. [B]"Nothing,"[/b] she answered sincerely. [B]"Just checking that you were okay..."[/b]

She trailed off, distracted by a sudden change in the noises of the crowd. Audrey likely would have picked up on the shift in the mood before Vander's dulled senses caught it. The cheers of those nearest the cage quieted, and laughter came instead. Pushing the longer half of her hair out of her face, Vander turned to look.

There was a new opponent for the fighter in the ring. A teal-haired woman was making an effort to remove her leather jacket, gearing up for a fight. Even at this distance, Vander could see that she looked sloppily drunk. But the champion wasn't about to back down. He yelled for someone to lock the cage shut. The fight was happening, and the crowd was excited.

Vander glanced back at Audrey. Raising a thin hand, she pointed to a dimly illuminated 'exit' sign on the opposite wall. [B]"I can show you out and help you hail a ride if you like."[/b] Her offer was gentle. She wasn't pushing Audrey to leave, she was simply offering help. [B]"If not, I'll clear off,"[/b] she added with a smile.
