Rose needed time. Time to think, time to get away, time alone. And she wouldn't get that in the museum. She was afraid to get too near the barn. And the carnival would only land her in front of the enigmatic eyes of one John Smith.

So after dropping off her stupid stupid survey with that stupid, stupid idiot, she started exploring the areas she didn't know. John's words about the tunnels had given her an idea. The Doctor had told her that they'd need a safe place for Remus to be confined during the full moon. Though on Earth, they'd have nearly a month, there was no guarantee here, and the sooner, the better. And if there were tunnels beneath them, there were bound to be other locations the locals didn't know of, right?

The impulsive Londoner of course would take it on herself to find said location. She'd taken the boy under her wing, after all, and he was sort of her responsibility. And looking around town would give her a chance to ignore those she wanted to avoid. That list was growing longer by the moment, really. And in a place where there were only so many places to hide away? Hell, maybe she needed that safe place for herself just as much as for Remus.

So she started with the theater, the sight of her earlier snuggling with one John Smith. Snuggling? No, that was a bit too much there, wasn't it? Chatting, yes. A bit of comfort. He'd made her smile. But no snuggling.

She slipped under the marquis and lowered the hood of her jacket, glancing around. She felt a bit like a spy, and Rose wouldn't deny the little thrill that ran through her. It was sort of exciting, the kind of excitement she hadn't had since the TARDIS had landed her back in London. Carefully, she tugged the door to the large building open, wondering why she hadn't ventured inside this place till now.

The vampire wasn't worried, that would be absurd. She was how many centuries old now, and dealt with how many lycans (and vampires) over the years? Surely she could contain one little pint-sized werewolf for a night or so. Well, provided she was at full strength, and given how hard it had been for her to find just a few small animals out in the forest that morning and the previous night, that wasn't necessarily a given. She was fine for now, but she needed some real sustenance, not a swallow or two of blood from a bird or rabbit. Of course, if he truly was rather animalistic when he turned that would make him more difficult to handle, and while a little bit of clawing wouldn't kill her -- provided she kept her head back -- any loss of blood would require more. And hell, he probably wasn't quiet either, and she couldn't deal with a werewolf AND possible onlookers. Scared onlookers at that.

Of course, this was assuming that smug man in the suit hadn't been lying when he told her about the full moon in three days. Where she came from there would still be about three weeks or so until the next full moon, and Remus had said his world just had the full moon as well. But could she really take that chance? Hell, the man could have been lying and there could be a full moon the next night.

She growled in frustration, hating this place a little more by the minute. It all almost made her miss the coven, miss Kraven even, as painful as that was to think. At least she knew their lies and trickery.

It was late in the afternoon by the time Selene came back into town, having spent her time since dropping off her survey searching the forest, both for food and for any place that might help her secure Remus. The forest growth was certainly thick in places, but his claws could likely easily tear through it. It would only slow him down, if anything. So she turned her attention to the first building she came to, which happened to be the theater. She hadn't explored it yet, and while it might not have anywhere a feisty werewolf could be kept, who knew, she might find something that could prove useful for herself. Either way it was certainly nice to get out of the rain. Later she was going to have to find somewhere safe where she could air out her clothes so the vinyl and leather didn't start to smell.

Standing in the lobby, Selene had taken off her coat and was shaking it out a bit when she heard the door open, the sound immediately drawing her attention. She bristled automatically, then tried to tell herself to relax when the person she saw wasn't someone she had already met. It was actually a bit of a relief to see another woman, if she was perfectly honest. The vampire was beginning to think she was the only one, despite what she skimmed in the journals. "Trying to get out of the rain too?" She did her best to sound friendly, though she wasn't too sure if she managed it. Trying to act human was hard, particularly when she was worried about a werewolf.

Rose was slightly startled to find out she wasn't the only one there, but she should have known better. People were spread all over this town, far beyond her comfort zone of the museum. So instead of panicking, she took a deep breath and smiled at the stranger. An elegant woman wearing far too much vinyl and leather to not be a dominatrix, but she was a prisoner just as the rest of them were, so why not?

"Sort of," she admitted, glancing around the lobby. What was she expecting, a steel box to be sitting there all inviting like? Clearly not. But maybe there was a room off to the side with a strong metal lock. Or a stage prop cage. Or...something. "I'm...exploring, more than anything." That was the best she could do without giving Remus away. But then, maybe this woman could help. Didn't she owe it to Remus to try?

"I'm actually looking for a room somewhere," she admitted carefully. "Somewhere secure. You know. In this place, you can't be too careful." That should do it without fessing up her fears for the young werewolf.
