Fletcher just nodded in response. She paced down the street to where Jess's hat was still laying on the ground. She picked it up and held it tightly in silence. Jess was starting to look more like a normal corpse; Fletcher kept her eyes averted. "Uh, thank you, I guess."

Aurdroid slowly followed her and stopped quite a few feet away from her, with a slow nod. "I tried my best. I'm really sorry if I had anything to do with this... it was unintentional. I have a bad feeling the fallen angels tracked me here..." He stared at the robotic corpse with drooped ears. "... I'm afraid if I stick around they'll be back for you or something..."

"... What if they come back anyway? If you're not here, and Jess couldn't take them-" Jess groaned and Fletcher yelped, then clasped a hand over her mouth.

"I-I... 0.0 J-just... I think... Maybe I should stay off of earth just for your own safety... Both of you, and the rest of the population..." He lowered his ears. "Or if I figure out how to get my creators from tracking me..."

"I could at least use your help to get her somewhere that's not, the, uh, middle of the street at night." Fletcher gestured to Jess with the hat, then put her knuckles to her mouth. "She doesn't appreciate being dragged and the alternative is leaving her out here."

Aurdroid nods slowly to them, looking around for a moment and then back to them. "Y-you don't have a home do you...? Er well if you don't I think I saw hotels around here somewhere..."

"Yeah, uh, Jess was actually looking for a place to stay, that's what she was, uh, doing." Fletcher managed a smile. "I've slept outside before. Hotel is fine, too. Just... safe... please." She held the hat out over Jess's face for a couple seconds. Jess blinked at it, dazed, then slowly managed to grab it from her, setting it on her chest.

Aurdroid pets one his ears and then stares down a nearby road, scanning the area for a moment as he began trying to remember where the local hotel was. "A-alright... You'll be fine travelling on ground right? I'll lead you the way by air."

"Could you stay down here??" Fletcher paused, then rubbed the back of her head, a bit embarrassed by the urgency in her voice. "Jess is like a foot taller than me and half muscle so-" "All muscle," moaned Jess, "and don't you dare drag me. I'd rather die." "Glad you're feeling okay."

Aurdroid curled his arms near his chest a little with a few quick nods. "I-if it will work for you... H-heh." He glances the two up and down before leading the way along the road, gesturing with his wings.

Jess shifted her head and made a pretty pathetic attempt to sit up. Fletcher shuffled on the spot. "Au- Aurdroid, right? Could you, uh, help me stand her up, or..." "Don't need help," mutters Jess. Fletcher made a face that implied otherwise.

Aurdroid paused and turned around, ear flinching. "U-uh... Hang on..." He suddenly opened his wings and flew up a little, but then flew down and above Jess, his talons taking hold of her shoulders but careful not to dig into her as he suddenly lifted her up and onto her feet, but a bit roughly. He let go and landed back to the ground, shaking with lowered ears but then perking back up. "H-how's that?"

She audibly winced as Aurdroid lifted her up. She managed to stand for about a second before forcefully grabbing Fletcher's shoulder, and eventually putting most of her weight onto the small girl. "... Gods..." breathed Jess, grimacing. "Thanks," managed Fletcher. "But you might have to, uh, lead slowly." "Well sorry that I'm not in peak condition," Jess mumbled, "but whatever that was gave me a full-body beating and my bones just aren't having it."

"W-we'll take it slowly... At least I hope we'll have t-to." Aurdroid stuttered and gave them another scan up and down before leading them down the road. It was quite a bit of ways before there was brighter lights along with more populated buildings, where they'd probably be more safe.

The ominous statement made Fletcher glance over her shoulder. She took a deep breath and followed Aurdroid forward. The sound of Jess's dragging feet stressed her out; she had a feeling they could stand to be as quiet as possible. She picked up the pace a bit and Jess followed along.
