I do not think that is the term I would use. Shaddon remained slightly behind the girl, but still close enough to appear as though they were walking together. This was merely to be in a position to catch her, should she get a sudden lose of strength within a leg. I would be happy to assist.

There was a few minutes of silence between the two as they walked. Shaddon inquisitive mind trying so hard not to pry into the oddity of the situation, to follow his father's rules as a police negotiator and give them their space to speak on their terms...but it eventually broke down into failure. I am sorry to pry, Adena, but I wish to inquire as to what brought you to the sidewalk of this district, sprawled out upon the ground?
