1st bullet ♥ [Action]

[pinball_reset]

[Ava has kept a low profile since arriving, but the meager amount of money she'd had was pretty much gone. pulling her arms tight around her, she stepped through the snow, her clothes very much not suited for the weather. She was wearing a knee length red dress and heels, her arms and legs bare save for the thin shawl around her shoulders.

Pausing in front of a store window, her eyes lingered on the jackets in the window. It would be so easy.]

Bring us here and don't even give us enough to get on our feet...

[She'd tried to find a job, but so far, she hasn't found anything suited to her skills. All she needs is bar and maybe a loan, too bad she hasn't found either one yet.]

[She's a little appreciative he doesn't want to hover. She feels bad enough accepting the loan, she'd hate for him to see her spend it.]

I won't be long.

[Taking the bills, she gives him back his coat and wanders inside.

After a little over half an hour, she comes back out, more appropriately dressed in black and red. Her other clothes in one of her shopping bags.

Sliding back into the truck, she sets her bags under her feet and hands him what's left and her receipt.]

This is a lot better. Thank you, Harry. ...How does it look?

[If there's one thing Harry can be, it's considerate. Plus, it means he gets to spend the time she's in the store checking his messages which, believe it or not, is a novel new experience for him. He'd used an answering service back home but having them right here? On a phone? For free?

The future is here, man.]

Looks great. [He says when she gets back into the truck, cutting off a message about a possibly haunted hedge maze and gives her a grin.] Stylish and practical.

[He takes the leftover money and the receipt, pocketing them without paying any attention to the amount. Even outside his sector, he was a City Guardian, which meant he made enough not to worry about it and that making sure people were okay was his responsibility.]

Where to?

Honestly, darlin' so long as you're drivin' I think I'll be okay...so really anywhere is good.

[Letting someone new have a decision like that is a new experience for her. She's normally not that trusting, but considering what he just spent on making sure she didn't freeze to death, she didn't think he'd hurt her.

I'm tired of havin' to walk everywhere. This is nice...reminds me of home a little.
