"I am honored," Alexei had responded to Vergil's acceptance of his help, bowing his head deeply to the miniature Cerberus.<br/><br/>Upon raising it, Alex had turned to Luna, curious when he saw her reaching down to retrieve something from the shredded pile that had to be her clothes.  That curiosity awarded him with a view of Luna's pantie-clad ass when his jacket rode up her body and it took Alex a second to remember to once again avert his gaze.  It was only when she stood straight again, a bag in hand, that he turned back.   She being the one that seemed to know the theater better then him, he allowed her to lead them out.<br/><br/>Funnily enough, it wasn't just Luna that was keeping close as Alexei was doing the same for another reason.  Without his jacket, his holstered weapon was visible.  Though it was easy to pull down his shirt over the sheathed knife at his back, for the handgun it was a bit more difficult so he did his best to keep that side pointed away from any nearby pedestrians and hoping that Luna - while shorter then him - allowed him to hide it behind her.  Fortunately Luna managed to keep them away from the crowds and when they exited the theater and he was forced to take the lead, his car was nearby.  He hadn't cared about the make and model (though he thought he remembered it being something called a Ford sedan) but it was spacious which is what he desired considering that it was going to be carrying some hardware later.<br/><br/>Speaking of which, Luna soon gave him an answer for some of his current problems; specifically a place to stay.  He had been hoping to investigate and prepare his selected safehouse but if a Guardian was offering her own residence...it could be a manageable arrangement.  He'd be in the same place as Luna and if things looked efficient he could perhaps call in his equipment a lot sooner then he thought.  Whether it be for a couple days or the full week until he decided he needed to move elsewhere, it could potentially suffice after a proper inspection.<br/><br/>Looking at it from that point of view, Alexei didn't take Luna's suggestion as she feared and, instead, nodded his head, "I may accept your kind offer.  I had a potential safe house but until I can verify whether it is usable or not, spending at least a day or two in your residence may work.  I have equipment that needs to be delivered.  Would you mind if I have it delivered to your apartment if it proves suitable?"<br/><br/>He left out the details as to what he was bringing and how much.<br/><br/>Taking out a small remote from his pocket, he pressed on one of the buttons and, among the line of cars, his black vehicle briefly flickered its headlights while audible<i>clicks</i>signaled the locks being disengaged.  He opened the driver seat door and took his position behind the wheel and it was only when Luna dropped into the passenger seat would he put the key in the ignition and start it up.<br/><br/>"You may have to give me a little guidance," he added as an afterthought while he shifted gears. "I've barely been in this city for a day."<br/><br/>Less then a day and he's already bumped into a demon, a Guardian, and the Cerberus.  He was starting to like it here.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
