Edith flinched a little when she heard someone walking towards her, quickly looking up Edith saw that the someone was a concerned looking young woman. Aside from showing concern, the woman didn't look extraordinary, although the wording of the woman's question did make Edith a little suspicious. [i][color=orangered]Ok Edith, deep breaths...[/color][/i] Edith tried to relax her posture but the possibility of this woman was actually a member of the fallen ensure that Edith remained a little stiff. Edith needed to continue moving, standing around like a headless chook was just going to get her caught. Though Edith needed to deal with this person first. [color=orangered]"N-no, there was a crash. A h-helicopter! I'm just getting as far from that a-as possible, I want no part in things like that. That's the Guards business."[/color]

Edith shifted slightly looking over her shoulder back in the direction of the crash. She looked for a few seconds before turning back to the young woman. [color=orangered]"I'll not hold you up any longer."[/color] Edith said before awkwardly trying to walk around the young woman and head off down the street.

The woman smiled warmly, stepping sideways to stay in front of Edith.  "Now, dear, you look like you need a good meal at the least.  I won't invite you home, so don't think that's on the table, but there's a nice little food stand just around the corner that I'd be happy to buy you something from."

Edith gnashed her teeth, what was with all these nosy people today? [color=orangered]"I-..."[/color] Edith went to speak before taking a moment to think. She had no reason to trust this stranger, but if Edith played it smart she could possibly use this woman as a cover. The fallen would be looking for Edith on her own right?... But again, there was still no reason to trust this stranger. [color=orangered]"I'm really not worth your time."[/color]

"Nonsense.  I have nothing but time anymore since...Well, since the world ended," the woman said a little sadly.

Persistent... [color=orangered]"I assure you, this will just be a waste of your time."[/color]

"I disagree.  No one gets to decide what wastes my time but me."

This wasn't working, this woman just wouldn't back down. [color=orangered]"Fine. If you insist."[/color] The sooner that Edith appeased this woman's irritating need to supply food, the sooner Edith could get back on the move. And at the very least Edith would be able to test if this two-person cover thing would help her blend in a little more. Or find out that this woman was a fallen spy...
