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.

Andy stopped and took one step back, his hands up defensively when he saw the girl startle. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," he apologized. He'd thought she'd have heard him coming, but apparently, she had not. Her answer made him smile slightly, even if it didn't reach his eyes. "Fair enough," he replied. He knew it was sort of a dumb question, after all. There was only so much "okay" that anyone here could actually be.

She approached and seemed to be sizing him up. Andy could understand the trepidation, even if he knew he was not a threat. He wasn't going to begrudge her being cautious. Then again, maybe she wasn't sizing him up; maybe he was just growing more and more paranoid with every day he woke up still stuck in this place. "Yeah, a little over two weeks," he replied. "How long have you been here?"

There was something about the woman that made him a little uncomfortable. While Andy couldn't put his hand on just what it was, he knew he didn't really like it. The last time he'd felt that same twinge of unknown discomfort was when he'd agreed to meet Sarah, knowing she was a vampire, while he was still covered in blood from the wound he'd incurred from fighting off the cougar his second day. Andy decided that it was because she was wearing a coat on a marginally warm day. Like Sarah had been wearing shorts and a tank top under her coat on a pretty cold day. It felt out of place, but he wasn't one to judge; he certainly wasn't one to say it aloud.

Her brows rose and a look of surprise came over her face when he said how long he had been there. Over two weeks? And no one had found a way out yet? She cursed softly and ran a hand through her hair. There was no way she'd be able to go that long without feeding, not in this place. Certainly not if she continued to be tempted.

"This marks my third day." she finally replied, sighing after a moment. "It feels longer, though." Which felt a little funny for the vampire to say, as long as she had been alive. She wasn't sure if it was the strangeness of the place, the stress, or walking about in daylight that made time seem to be longer than it was. "My name is Selene." she offered, extending a pale hand. Since she sensed no danger from him she figured she might as well act the way she expected someone 'normal' would, and introduce herself. And if he'd been trapped here for that long, he might have valuable information about the place, so it wouldn't do for her to be rude.
