[ In Gray's homeworld, she became used to being relied upon. In the months since she's left it, she's felt quite the opposite; her peers now are overwhelmingly older than her with a sense of adult responsibility, and thus hesitant to rely on a girl as young and harmless-looking as she is, no matter how much she requests otherwise.

So it's a little nice that this woman is so willing to trust in Gray's ability. At the same time, it makes her a little nervous — that this elegant-looking woman is placing such high expectations on her. Gray does her best to shoo that nervousness away and put on a more reliable air, or at least not look totally surprised at the woman's trusting beam. ]

If anything does happen, please get behind me. I'll do my best to keep you safe.

[ Gray doesn't know Rudbeckia very well or even at all, but it's hard for her to ignore a friendly face. In any case, time's a-wastin', so she tentatively begins to walk...... somewhere. ]

Is there anything you think we should look for first?
