Her first reaction to Luke volunteering to personally escort her back was to politely decline the offer, and she began to raise her hands to do just that. That was when she noticed something about one of his friends she hadn't before, and the protest died, momentarily forgotten, in her throat. The one called Jericho, if she had that right, had enormous handguns strapped to his chest. He was a Hunter, he had be. Who else but a Hunter would carry weapons like that? Realizing this she took a much closer look at the others. She noted that no one else seemed to be carrying that kind of firepower, but they were clearly very fit and looked to be about the age she might expect a Hunter in training to be. How many of Luke's group were Hunters, and for that matter was he himself one? He didn't strike her as the warrior type, not like Jericho of the lion faunus hanging back a bit from the others, but then she was making a lot of assumptions on appearances alone. Regardless she would just have to ask him when she had the chance. Besides the obvious benefits of making some friends (hopefully) perhaps having a friend or two that was already a student at Beacon or a fully fledged Hunter would help her situation. Not many of the people she had met from the school so far seemed too fond of the possibility of her enrollment, considering her utter lack of prior training. [i]But I know Grimm and I know how to kill them without a weapon, that has to count for something. Hopefully my... semblance will not be the deciding factor.[/i]

The pair of girls Luke had addressed suddenly broke their huddle, startling Skye from her thoughts, and in the next moment they were wishing the two a hasty journey. [i]Oh, I just missed my chance to speak up, didn't I?[/i] She put her hands down at her sides and offered what she guessed was a proper parting bow to the others, though she had not spoken directly to anyone but Luke. It was likely going to be a largely unnoticed gesture which was fine. [i]As long as I get back in the habit of civilized behavior. Wait, is bowing even a thing here in Vale? I haven't seen anyone bowing to each other; was that just something we did in our village?[/i] She decided to just follow Luke for now. With any luck he would be willing to suffer her ignorance. Then again she felt bad enough inconveniencing him like this, maybe she should just keep quiet. [i]Right, and make the walk awkward...[/i] In the next moment Luke asked her which hospital she had come from and she realized they had a problem. She had no idea there was more than one hospital and it had never occurred to her to get the name of the place she had come from. 

Skye decided to stop Luke and just let him know she was a lost cause before he wasted any more time on her behalf. She paused, however, when she saw the look on his face. Admittedly she was not the best at reading people but there was... something going on in his head, though she didn't have the faintest idea what that could be or what had triggered it. Thinking back she remembered turning to him, he was holding the door for two newcomers to the cafe. He and the pretty girl that had just walked by her had exchanged greetings. His eyes were following the two, no just the girl, she realized. [i]Oh, maybe he... and she? No, that's a pretty big jump, Skye. Sure, she's very pretty but that was a very casual greeting. Probably just another frie- is his hair twitching?![/i] Skye truly found herself confused now. She hadn't imagined it like she first assumed, his hair really was moving on its own. Though just as abruptly as the strands had started jerking this way and that they seemed to settle down as well. [i]What... just happened?[/i]

The strange moment passed as the both of them realized they were just standing there, he holding the cafe door, she eyes glued to the top of his head. Momentarily on autopilot Skye nodded agreement to Luke's suggestion they get going, and stepped outside. [b]"Uh, no don't apologize, you-you're the one helping me. Oh, oh no, I forgot! I mean I forgot to tell you."[/b] She stopped and spun around to face him. [b]"I, uh... I don't know the name. The hospital name. I didn't even know there was more than one. I'm so sorry, I've just been wasting your time. Time you could be spending with your friends or-"[/b] She stopped herself before she said 'that girl'. [i]Didn't I just conclude that the two were likely just friends?[/i] She shook her head. What a disaster. [b]"Look, Luke, why don't you just point me in the direction of someplace... quieter? The hospital or academy have ways of finding me if they need to, right? I never meant to drag you away from your friends in the first place..."[/b] She shrugged helplessly. [i]Might as well cut my losses and spare this poor guy at this point.[/i]
