Angel's mind races as she tries to decide what to tell Alyssa. Surely the part about Celaire trying to find the head priestess so that she can be cured is out. But that thief... that seems safe enough to talk about. Alyssa already seemed well-acquainted with him, so that would be safe. But neither of those are probably what she really wants to know about. No, that would be the gate... But it really hadn't looked all that strange to Angel, not that she knew what it was supposed to look like anyway.<br/><br/>"Well, other than that thief..." she begins, but her words are cut off when Sergeant Ananda approaches. At that point she decides the best case is to draw as little attention to herself as possible. That strategy seems to work, as the sergeant begins to leave without mentioning anything. But Angel barely has a moment to register her surprise before Ananda turns and points a finger at her. Well, time to defend herself, it seems. As unaccusing as Alyssa as been, Angel hardly trusts the guard's words alone to keep her out of jail... or worse.<br/><br/>"The reason I'm not in chains," she tells Ananda, "is because without my help even more people might have been hurt." She drums her fingers on the top of her distended belly as she adds, "And I'm sure that your watchmen can attest that this is hardly some innocent creature I'm digesting." In hindsight, perhaps being so confrontational with this woman might not have been the best idea, Angel considers, but it is not as though the guards are her favorite people in the world to deal with.
