Content: Glitch mistakes Rosette for a scary homeless woman in an alley. Fortunately, he's with Cain and Donna.
Setting: J7ish
Time: Evening
Warnings: None foreseen

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'?"

Harry only vaguely noticed the two men moving to the end of the alley, his focus on Rosette, who frankly looked scared out of her mind. He could only wonder what had happened, who had terrified her, and where could he find them and beat them senseless. He knew he shouldn't get so worked up, but despite his awareness that it was stupid and chauvinistic it was, seeing a woman in pain still somehow managed to push all his buttons.

Donna seemed to be doing a good job of calming her down at least, as Rosette seemed at least a bit less panicked than she had sounded on the journals. Harry gave Rosette a smile he hoped was reassuring and said, "Well, I'm not that familiar with the local safe houses just yet, but in a city this size, it shouldn't be that hard to get you off the grid long enough for us to set up a safe place. If you think that's something that you would be willing to do."

Of course, Harry would need to know more about what she needed protection from before he could help her, but right now getting her calmed down and into a safe place was top priority. There would be a time for questions later.

Suddenly he heard the twitchy guy express amazement to his friend (Cain?) that Harry was a wizard. Harry guessed wizards weren't all that abundant wherever he had come from. Turning his focus back to Rosette, Harry was surprised when the twitchy guy, (Really have to learn his name) spoke up.

Looking over his shoulder Harry contemplated the two. Cain certainly seemed competent, and while the other man seemed fairly eccentric, Harry had long since learned that eccentric by no means meant stupid. Still, in the end it was the girl's decision on who to let help her, so Harry decided to keep his mouth shut for now. No use in overwhelming her.
