Stride leaned back in her seat, brow creasing with thought. “Can’t say I’ve heard of the place,” she mumbled. [color=#BC6101]“Give me a sec.”[/color] One hand still on the wheel, she pulled her phone from her pocket and quickly tapped out the name given. [color=#BC6101]“It’s…’bout a block from here, so not too far or anythin’.”[/color] She paused, then looked up at Cienna. [color=#BC6101]“Look, I’m gonna give you my number anyway. Case ya get into trouble or some shit like that on the way back.”[/color] While the woman seemed to have her own way of getting around, she was still very much blind- and a rather little thing, to boot. Even if it was just to put her own mind at rest, Stride rattled off her number before putting her phone away, looking Cienna over.

[color=#BC6101]“Call me Stride,”[/color] she replied. Upon catching sight of the bill Cienna was pushing her way- especially of just how [i]much[/i] the thing was worth- Stride quickly pushed it back into the fairy’s hand, grunting a little. [color=#BC6101]“Keep it. Wasn’t too long of a drive, so ya don’t gotta worry ‘bout that.”[/color]

Stride hung around in the parking lot for a bit longer, until she was sure that the lady would make it safely inside, before kicking the engine up again and driving off. With Julie and Cienna now at the hospital, her mind turned to other, less pressing things.

Namely, the fact that the last time she saw her apartment, it looked to be a complete wreck.

She let out a groan under her breath. Hopefully her electricity would still be good, or else she’d be massively fucked.
