Lily was absolutely running on adrenaline, the pain a quiet though thrumming in the back of her mind and she was definitely ignoring the pain in her chest every time she breathed. Problems for later, they needed somewhere to lay low.
"Uhhh, I have no idea. Well, actually I have a few, but I'm working through them and eliminating the bad idea's which is hard because I'm pretty sure I've got a concussion." she turned hand on his arm to steady her as she walked backwards a few paces, scanning to see if they were being tailed "But moving is good, moving makes it harder so, we keep moving until I figure that out." she turned the right way again, talking quickly, not agitated, more like there were several different trains of through running through her mind.
And there were but not just her own, her mind expanded skimming the thoughts of everyone around them tugging them in a different direction as soon as someone remotely thought they looked familiar.
"Okay." she said after a few moments of silence, tucking them down a side street towards a questionable food vendor.
"There's a group, that provide shelter for people who've pissed Cleo off, temporarily. They like to give people a fighting chance, they won't protect us if he figures out we're there but we can at least lie low and figure out a plan they've got safe houses all over the place."
The vendor wasn't much to look at, a small ramen shack run by a besalisk who was missing one arm at the elbow. He grinned as he saw her.
"Lily! Your usual? Oh-" his smile dropped as she drew into the light.
"What happened to you?" His eye flicked to the man who'd save her.
"Who's he?" He leaned forward checking both ways on the sidestreet.
"I told you you shouldn't have taken that damn job." he hissed at her.
"Yeah, yeah I know. I'm stupid, naïve and should have listened to your infinite wisdom. Wisdom doesn't put credits in my pocket and fuel on my ship so I can get off this damn rock."
"How bad is it?"
"Bad, Garrus tried to kill me, this guy saved me. We need sanctuary."
"Garrus dead?" Lily shook her head.
"Alright then." He beckoned them round the side of his cart, bending down to heave open a heavy metal panel from the floor concealing what looked like nothing more than an entrance to the sewers. Lily planted a kiss on his cheek before lowering herself inside. At the bottom of the ladder was large bunker, big enough to house at least eight people comfortably.
