And now the disturbance was acting wary-- not that Saga could fault him, considering the situation. She would have behaved exactly the same-- perhaps with a bit more friendliness-- had she "taken a wrong turn".
Well, she amended, given her extraordinary ability to get lost in food aisles, maybe not. There was only so much sympathizing she could do when a wrong turn led to diapers instead of canned tomato soup, and not to a different street corner. Maybe it was just the city himself that had him confused; his accent led her to believe he wasn't even from this country..
His accent also led her to believe that the man was some distant relative of the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins. Tall, sooty-face, distinct features underneath the soot, dark hair, funny hat-- she honestly wouldn't have been surprised if he'd hopped onto a roof and started singing.
"You're right, that does depend." As if trying to prove that she wasn't a threat (unless she absolutely had to be), Saga held up her hands, palms-up, and shrugged. "Where are you trying to go?"
