Owen and Apollo the Dog seemed to get along well, but seeing as they were both based off each other, or more properly, Owen was based off Apollo, that isn't surprising.
With the handshake, if the others eyes had gone red, she didn't seem to notice. Her nerves were half shot, but she was also steel. Scared that she was making a mistake. She was talking to a stranger, who was with or around her boyfriend for four years while she was... well, one or two days short with out him and thinking he was dead.... with the rest of his family.
The 'a lot' made her cheeks tint pink a bit, but she smiled brightly. "That idiot. I hope it wasn't too boring. But I'm glad he remembered me. I.... thought he was dead, myself." It's been two days. She had been holding on for hope too.
"I'm sorry. I hope this isn't an inconvenient time for you. Jubilee has been helping me and said I could find him here."
Mean while, the text from Claudio came in with 'man, u knw i hate surprises.'
"It's fine, He-" Trauma was about ready to try and make his way through dealing with what she was saying, sending back another text that said 'deal. come here.' when he paused. Wait.
"You thought he was dead?" Trauma asked, and then thought about what he'd sensed off her at first and he paused, looking distracted for a moment as he ran back through the thought and tied to the thread of it in her head. He worked through it, first finding the priest and having to get back past it again to find-abodytomatchthenoteshefound'i'llbedead'and-
Trauma stopped, and he was pretty sure he couldn't hide that he'd been searching in her fears this time, eyes having changed color and not actually caring. He could explain it if he had to. But that wasn't something he was willing to let go.
He couldn't really see it, beyond what he could grasp through the fog of her fears and the fears of every bystander near.
Claudio was going to need to explain what he was seeing, because he could tell the difference between what was real and what was irrational. And he could tell this was based on something real.
No more text back, because he was kind of worried about what the hell was going on, thus wandering his way to his car and driving there trying so very hard not to worry. He's going to be so MAD if he should have worried.
The question makes her try to reconsider what he had said, running a hand over her neck. "It's... stupid, maybe. He left me a note when he left and at first I just thought he was being dramatic, but then..." This thing popped up at her window and tried to kill her while asking for the Crowing. How does one explain that?
Apollo looked concerned up at Newo now, inching closer and leaning into her side a bit. He was very careful about what she was feeling. Newo just shook her head at him and continued. "After an attack at home, and this woman who saved me, I wasn't so sure anymore. He could have been dead out there and I'd never know..."
And then he wasn't. He was alive and older then her (or so they say, she still doesn't understand that part too well) and living here in a city with room mates. Oh my gosh.
Frankly, Claudio probably should've worried. If only because Trauma was not pleased and getting worse.
"It's not-..." Trauma paused. It's not stupid if he's right, and he's going to kick his idiot into next fucking week if he did what Trauma thinks he did. And Claudio's a dramatic shit sometimes. But that's getting ridiculous. And stupid. And-
And who the hell knows what he'd actually been thinking at the time.
But Trauma continues on with a thought in his head that this was going to be something that got brought up later. When he actually had the chance to ask Claudio himself.
"You got attacked." Trauma said, as things finally clicked. He looked her over trying to determine how recently this happened. And if she was okay. Claudio would kill him if she was hurt or something and he'd done nothing. That must've been what was up with the monster....thing. "....You're okay, right?"
Terry seemed like a nice guy. A little shy, but honestly, Newo had dealt with people like that before. After all she was... or had been(?) dating Claudio. Shy people were her favorite though, the type that didn't go out there into the world much but could if encouraged.
His concern over her being attacked was sweet. She shook her head though. "This woman, blue skinned and pretty, helped out. Took care of the problem. I'm fine, swear. Just a bit of a nerve rattling thing."
Which was true, her nerves were shot, and ending up here suddenly was even more alarming. At least the dog came with her. And... and this is where Claudio ran away to. So it was a bit more.... well, it was frightening and interesting and confusing.
Claudio however wasn't far from home, stressing out the entire way. No he did NOT almost run over someone however.
