Vayla flinched back at the man's reaction. He certainly didn't seem to be all there. Had he really not noticed them at all until she touched him. Concerned, she tried to calm him, moving a bit more in front of him so she was more fully in his line of sight, "Hey, it's okay...I'm not trying to hurt you or anything. Just want to make sure you're okay."

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Blade heading further into the cafeteria. Meanwhile, Dolly still waited nearby. She didn't know who Dougie was, but...was he maybe the man she was talking to? That was her guess anyway. He certainly seemed to be the one who would most benefit from leaving this scene, aside from Dolly. "I'll take them," she volunteered in response to Blade's request, and gently took Dougie's hand, "Come with me. We're going to go somewhere...less terrifying." With that, she began to lead him towards the door, then reaching for Dolly's hand as well as she came near, "Let's go back in the hallway. We can hang out there until your friend comes back with food."
