He means to accompany her? Arid's gaze snaps back to him, as if she's about to ask. But after a long moment of scrutiny - of the human police lieutenant in his incongruous soft dog onesie - Arid nods slowly, with a tip of her outsized cowboy hat.

"Understood," she says. "Follow me." She turns, and heads out of the bar, apparently with a clear destination in mind. She's not explaining yet, but she has reached the conclusion that maybe she can use a human accomplice decoy on this particular mission.

Outside, the 'street' is bustling with people of all shapes and sizes - all the more varied for the sometimes outlandish costumes they're wearing. Arid appears to take no heed as she cuts through them, unless you're looking close enough to spot how she surveys everyone around her. And how she's careful to stop and keep track of Hank should he drop behind at all. She's really not trying to lose him. On the contrary - she thinks his participation may be key, for her new strategy. Though if he's too slow she will stop and give him some additional scrutiny.
