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 winced. Two days ago she'd been thrown into an experiment, upon her arrival...that had to mean she'd undergone the same sort of experimentation he had, didn't it? Usually the experiments were the same. "I'm sorry," he replied, furrowing his brow. "For what it's worth, whatever you saw...it wasn't real. It couldn't have been, because I--" he cut himself off and shook his head. "What I saw wasn't real." Most of it, anyway, he thought miserably.

When Selene said she was just trying to get the lay of the land, Andy nodded. He understood that some people wanted to. He'd done it slowly and only as he'd needed. The map had been good enough for him. It was partially because Andy was lazy and partially because he did not consider himself the hero type and he did consider those who needed the control of knowing the whole layout of the crap ass town they were stuck in the hero types. He did, however, find it interesting that there seemed to be, or had seemed to be, so many females that needed and wanted that same sort of control. Grasping at thin air, he thought, but he wasn't going to begrudge them that or take it away from them with his lack of hope.

"Well, I don't know. Mostly...there's like potato chips and candy bars and maybe there's some water and soda left," he said sympathetically. "That's where I was going, too. And out to see if I could find more apples in the woods. I haven't looked in a while, though, so for all I know, they're gone." Andy paused then. "You wanna come?" he offered awkwardly. There wasn't really any point in them both going their own way, he figured, if they were going to the same place.

His remarks to her comment about being in an experiment made her curious. They made sense for one part of it, at least, as since she hadn't found any remote trace of Michael anywhere she deduced that the images on the screen were somehow faked. Trying to think how any of the things the people in charge were doing was actually being done gave her a near headache, so she tried not to. "Are you talking about the panic room? That was more... stressful than anything." Mostly because she'd been busy trying to keep herself from feeding on poor cut-up Dean while they'd been trapped in there. "Before that though there was nothing for me to see. They managed to blind me somehow." She again frowned, and tried not to let the thought get to her. Vampires didn't go blind. Not unless someone perhaps took their eyes.

The rambling about food supplies was unimportant to her but Selene was careful to seem like she was paying attention. She still had her bottle of water, all her 'survival' supplies, actually, though she had used a little of the water to clean the blood of her coat after she got out of the experiments. "Sure, some company would be a nice change of pace." A true enough comment, said with a slight smile. But she was more thinking on what kind of questions to ask him about this place.
