The more she spoke, the more she played to Julian's more protective nature. She had a family or group once and they had been lost to the scourge that took this planet. He rubbed his face a bit in frustration as his mind was warring with what he should do as he stood there. There was something odd about her. She didn't seem as overly concerned or shy as many women like her would be. The prospect of finding some one new in this world was a hazard in itself. Had he been one of the more violent men, she might not have been left intact in the few moments she had been in his company. She would have been that man and his crew's toy and battered into nothing before being dragged away. As much as he preferred to be alone, he could not leave her at the mercy of the animals that now hid in the world. Leaving her alone was certain to be her demise or at least that was his thought.<br/><br/>"Fine, but you need to be useful. I can't let you stay here alone." He would put her name to memory so he didn't have to keep asking her it multiple times. He would look around and find her a small bag she could sling over her shoulder. He took the time to fill up her sack to get her prepared. It was going to be useful to have her around. She would be able to carry extra supplies that he would normally leave behind. He would check outside often and found it a bit odd that a patrol had not been by in a while. He had spent a lot of time mapping out the patrols and their timings. They had lapsed over their usual time and that was very unusual. He did not think of connecting her to it but it did make him worry a bit. Had they been found? Were they being hunted? Were they in the sights of a sniper? All of these things would begin to go through his head as he looked to her.<br/><br/>"We need to get moving. The patrols are late. That either means they are here and searching or we are at the end of their gun at this moment." He said in a hushed tone as he looked to her. His eyes were wide with concern as he tried to pinpoint any abnormalities around them. Everything was so quiet and still that it would unnerve him but the desolate cities were always eerily still. The lack of sound that he was hearing was a bit unnerving because the thrum of the alien crafts was non existent. That was very unusual and did not send up the right message. His next motions would be a bit alarming but he needed to get them moving. He would take her hand firmly into his and pull her along as they delved into the darker parts of the building. He wanted to get into the rats mazes of corridoors within the shopping building to keep them out of sight. "Where was your home? Just so I know where the aliens have been to keep from going in that direction."
