It wasn't that she felt defenseless. Quite the contrary, as the vampire knew she could more than handle herself. But when one's carried a weapon of some sort on their person nearly every night for centuries they tended to feel a bit naked without one. Which was why the museum was still high on Selene's list of places to explore, as she was hoping to find an antique sword at the very least. She just had to try and do so when there weren't so many people around.

Obviously, a gas station wouldn't have anything like what she would look for in a museum. Her hope there was to find a pocketknife or even simple cutlery. Not so much for defense as just for general use. Past that, she just wanted to look around. Gas stations usually carried such random items it wasn't entirely impossible that she could find something that would be of real use to her. Or if not of use to her directly, perhaps of use to Remus. She was still trying to wrap her brain around the fact she was helping a werewolf. Hopefully it wouldn't come back to bite her in the ass.

Such serious thoughts made her sigh and she reached into her coat to pull out her journal as she walked, as much to distract herself as it was to flip back to Gambit's map to make sure she was headed the right direction. The vampire could have easily arrived at her destination by now but she was trying to pass for human. At least for now. That meant no seemingly appearing out of thin air because she could move so fast. Part of her was kind of irritated by that, as being dressed in black from head to toe tended to make her stand out in the daytime.

Lazing around in the back of his van was really all that Andy wanted to do when he woke up late the next morning. So, he had. He'd dressed and, once Elliot had as well, he'd pushed the back doors of the van open and laid out, staring up at the disco ball and grinning at the way the sunlight reflected off it. Finally, when he'd realized that he was hungry, he excused her and hopped out of the van and announced that he was going to fetch them some snacks and, with a smirk he added, apples, if he was lucky.

It was a nice day, finally - not too cold and not too hot, either. The sun was trying to peek through the clouds as he made his way down the road, past the theater, toward the carnival. He'd cut through and head to the gas station the way he always did and maybe on the way back, he'd head out into the woods to see if he could find some felled apples. Just to see the look on Elliot's face would be worth the effort, maybe, if he had to climb a little to get to some that hadn't fallen. It'd be kind of hilarious, he was sure.

As he made his way through the carnival, he shielded his eyes with one hand and then raised his eyebrows seeing someone in the short distance ahead. She seemed to be looking in the journals and he didn't recognize her face. Andy couldn't help wondering if she was new and looking for the map. For all he knew, she'd been around forever and he'd talked to her without knowing what she looked like, but he decided he would feel better checking before assuming and leaving her there.

"Hey," he called out to her as he approached. "You okay?" Not the smoothest, most relevant question, really, but it was kind of reflexive and it sounded okay, he supposed. Or, you know, it didn't, but he'd already asked it, so he decided to ride it out.

It only took a moment for her to verify she was indeed headed in the right direction and she was then flipping through a few pages, looking curiously to see if there were hints of any other non-humans present. Surely there had to be at least one. She was hoping it was just coincidence that a werewolf had appeared the day after she had.

Her eyes were still on the pages when she heard an unfamiliar voice and her head snapped up, unconsciously bristling at being somewhat snuck up on. The vampire hated being upwind. Selene looked in the direction of the voice and quickly surveyed the man that had called out and was approaching her. It was a small relief to her that he, for all intensive purposes, appeared normal. Human, even. "As okay as a captive can be." she replied, shutting the journal and tucking it away back inside a pocket of her coat. She had slowed and eventually stopped her steps, allowing their paths to cross, and she tried not to look him over suspiciously. Being out in daylight made her more nervous than simply being in this strange place did. "Have you been here awhile?" It wasn't even a thought in her mind to ask if he was 'from' here, the vampire having deduced that anyone who was here was almost certainly present against their will.
