[He starts to lead, but Kaname stops, tugging him back by his hand that she's still holding. It's an effective hold and a little comforting. The entire thing hasn't rattled her, but she'll be the first to admit (again) that's she's out of her element and comfort zone.]
But my apartment's closer than the bar, as well as a different direction. Wouldn't they think that's the first place you'd go? What's to stop them from trying to cut us off before we get there? [Following his lead is good, but not without her making sure her input is heard.] That location's common knowledge, isn't it?
It's a r-- [Kaname's cut off by a loud noise coming from the arcade down the alley they just left. Her head whips around in response, then she looks back at Bandou.] Your call. A quick decision would be good.
[ He's hesitant to head to her place. Just as he was with her sticking with him in the arcade. He'd hate for them to find out the location of her apartment and her to be pulled into the situation further.
But she is right. The bar would be the most obvious place to find them. ]
Okay, your place, then. But, just for safe measures...
[ One good thing about dressing the way he does is that hardly anyone has seen what he looks like underneath it all. His hat, sunglasses and hoodie will be easy enough to replace later, so he'll quickly remove them and toss them out of sight behind one of the ally dumpsters. Incognito by being in just a t-shirt and jeans. Only Bandou could pull it off. ]
Speaking of safe measures-- [Kaname reaches out and catches the hat before it can join the other two items, promptly placing it on her head. She can pull off most hats, but a baseball cap is iffy. Not that fashion is currently a priority or anything.]
It doesn't back home, but I think my hair might stand out here, at least enough to warrant concern. [Now she looks around again, making sure the coast is still clear before nodding to him.] Lead the way, maybe a different one than we took on our trip here.
[When he does, she decides to follow silently for time, making sure they're not drawing unwanted attention.]
[ Whether she thinks she can pull off a baseball hat or not, Bandou can't help grinning about it. Mainly because it's his baseball hat! ]
You look cute like that.
[ Just a small flirty compliment before he's casually blending them into the busy streets of down town Shizume City. Running would look suspicious. So would taking any random side turns. For now, he figures trying to look as mundane as possible might be their best bet. That and any JUNGLE members with some sort of sense to them would be wise not to pull out semi-automatics in such a large group of people. ]
What-- [The reaction is immediate. Kaname stops to look at him, blinking. Congratulations, Bandou catches her off guard, a bit of red dusting her cheeks at the suddenness of the compliment. Give her a moment.
She clears her throat, following him into the main street, a little thankful to not focus on what he said too long. That's for another time. Maybe. Moving between people doesn't take much skill, so it's easy enough to follow his lead.]
I think it should. You remember which building I'm in, right?
[Seeing as it's a busy street with lots of foot traffic, Kaname reaches forward and takes his hand again so they don't get separated. She's confident she could get back on her own, but running into anyone else solo isn't a chance she's willing to take.]

This way works, yeah?
