Glitch was having a good time -- but, then, anything shiny helped Glitch to have a good time. And Glitch was a real people person too -- and it didn't matter that the blondes all ignored him. He was having a good time.

And so it surprised him to find a crazy woman in the alley he poked his nose down. She was clearly terrified, and Glitch's first instinct was to comfort her. But she was also crazy and very edgy -- and Glitch, not being the brightest or bravest, quickly held up his hands and backed out of the alley...

...And almost into Cain and Donna. Spinning, Glitch stared at them a moment, then looked relieved. "There's a scary lady in there," he confessed, somewhere between a man and a child. It was a simplistic sort of fear, and that made him seem more childish than he actually was. Also, his face was capable of creating almost cartoonish expressions.

"I wouldn't go in there. She yelled at me to leave her alone! I think she was scared of me. Me!" He said this as though he couldn't quite believe it. Why would anyone want him to leave them alone? He was certain he was charming company -- and not at all scary. "I think she might be homeless," he confessed breathlessly. Why else would she be in an alley? "But I wouldn't go in there to feed her, no sir." With an emphatic shake of his head, he turned to resume his course to the cafe -- or wherever it was he was headed.

A second later, he spun around with wide eyes. "There's a scary lady in there. I wouldn't go in there. She yelled at me to leave her alo--hey, where ya goin'?"

"Few days," Glitch answered idly, watching the trio at the end of the alleyway with apparent curiosity. "How long have you been here?"

The question seemed almost automatic, because Glitch didn't pursue it; he was much more interested with the scene in front of them.

"Did you hear that, Cain?" he murmured after a second. "He's a WIZARD. Hee, I didn't know there were two!"

His ear caught her question and little else. "Oh, I know somewhere safe!" Well, he thought it was safe, anyway. With a cheerful smile, he explained, "With us! Cain has a gun!"
