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's brow knit more heavily as Selene went on telling him that she hadn't been in the mirror room. She said that she'd been blinded somehow without a blindfold which Andy didn't even want to think about. The more she talked, the more Andy's brow furrowed until he could actually feel the muscles in his face starting to ache from it and he had to force himself to relax. "Jesus..." he breathed. Although, even if he wouldn't say it to her face, he felt like Selene had gotten the better end of the deal. She hadn't had to smell a friend's burnt flesh. The memory made him shudder. "That's fucked up. We usually all have the same experiment at the same time..." he said, his voice trailing off pensively.

Frowning, Andy nodded at Selene's question. "I dunno that they're all that messed up, because I've only had one on my second day. They tied me up back to back with some girl in the rain in the woods and left us for dead. I spent a fair share of my time here limping around on a torn up leg from when the cougar out there attacked me when I was trying to get away. They were, at least, nice enough to leave a knife just out of reach and stuck in a tree that we managed to get loose to cut the ropes, but..." It hurt like hell to call Martha some girl, but the name would've meant nothing to Selene. He bowed his head a little guiltily as he thought about it.

"Used to be, like, every other day people got picked for the experiments, but now they seem like they're all the time. Or maybe I'm just getting more paranoid. Neither really appeals to me, honestly," he replied as he approached the gas station and pulled open the door, gesturing for her to go inside first in an effort to be polite.
