"No?" He hadn't meant it to come out as a question but this was not going the way he'd been expecting it to. For one, he'd expected more evil creature from hell dimension hungering after human flesh and less innocent brunette in rags going on about not being livestock.
Maybe he should have left this one to Wesley. Technically he still could. Fade into the shadows and wait for the englishman to arrive, let him deal with the woman, this Winifred. It would keep the former watcher and the rest of his old crew safely out of the way while he tracked down the creature Cordelia had seen in her vision.
... On the other hand, leaving her in Wesley's care might give his former employee exactly the information he'd need to find the creature first. Assuming of course that she and the creature where related, a hypothesis the alien scents clinging to the diminutive brunette would support. No. Best to take her with him. The less chance he gave them to get involved in his world, the better. After he'd gotten what he needed from Winifred and taken care of the beast, he'd drop her off at Wesley's and let him deal with her. Until then, she was his.
He slowly extended his hand towards her. "I'm Angel, and I'm here to help."
