As she walked, the bag slung over her shoulder bounced lightly against her side. Inside were her cell phone, communicator, some money, and the gun Heine had given her. She still wasn't completely comfortable using it, but she carried it everywhere with her, now. She wasn't about to get kidnapped again, not without putting up a fight. Even if she didn't actually use it, she hoped it would serve to scare away anyone who might try to hurt her.
Nill had been out for only about twenty minutes when she passed a shop she had never seen before. She paused in front, small fingers pressing against the window as she stared at the intricate glass figurines. She didn't think she had seen anything so beautiful in her entire life ( ... )

[And he needs to know what those are.]
Pardon my curiosity miss, but are those wings charmed to your back?
[She must be a witch with an odd fashion sense, right?]

And now she was too curious to worry about being afraid, blue eyes wide as she looked him over. He was dressed nicely enough, even if he didn't look very nice. But neither did Heine, to someone who didn't know him. Nill's wings flicked behind her back again.]

[He's a perceptive man, Severus Snape. She didn't make a sound at all when startled. Just fluttered those things, which are... very much attached. They're not decoration, he can see that now.]
[To see her better, he takes off his smoked lenses; peering though his lank hair, he is -- well, it's like being a bug in a bell jar, or so many of his students would relate being examined by Snape. Intense, unwavering, and somewhat disconcerting.]
Those are a part of you, then? Your flesh and blood?

He strode up the street with his purposeful gait, another late-thirties-looking man who happened to have an eyepatch and a sword. He glanced at people as he went out of habit, and did a not-so-subtle double-take at Snape. Yes, he was comparing that face to Vector Prime, who he knew - but he didn't say so out loud. The glance was probably obvious enough.

Hopefully they're not going to run into anybody while they're both trying to figure the other out.

Nope, best not to aks the strange man with a sword just what the hell he's doing with it, Snape decides. Last thing he needs is a scuffle with anybody carrying THAT around right now.

The problem with listening to loud music is that you often don't pay atention to where you're going, so he actually manages to plow right into Snape on his way to the subway.

--Snape goes down like a sack of potatoes in a nice suit. Smoked lenses fly off his face, clatter to the ground and one cracks.
"Bloody-- you--" catching his breath after the impact, the rage and pain is there, but it's not quite able to vent what with needing more oxygen to do so.

Superspeed's helpful. He doesn't get to the glasses before they crack, but he does snatch them up and is almost instantly holding out his other hand hand to the tall weird guy he just bowled into to help him up.
"Hey dude, jesus, sorry about that, got lost in my own thoughts there. You ok?"

"Being lost in your thoughts is for quite, safe places like libraries, churches or other places of study," Snape said, taking up his glasses and peering at them. "Not the street, boy."
He draws his wand, a moment later, and taps them once, uttering, "Reparo," as he does so. Fixed glasses, just like... well, the obvious answer is magic, isn't it?

Tonight she found herself in a park. Even after a year the city still reminded her of Tartarus. Which reminded her of Hades. Which led to other bad thoughts. The park was far more relaxing, the trees and flowers much nicer to look at.
The bench wasn't that comfortable, but it was a good place to mortal watch. She could usually find some fun love struck/sick mortal to distract her. If no one came around here, she could always teleport somewhere else.

Attention grabbed she looked harder to see if she could pick up anything else, and instead saw, "Vecty?"
He looked so similar to him, but the expression on his face was so not. She hoped that if Vector Prime ever found a love he would at least TELL her first. Now she had to go over and investigate.
She disappeared from her bench and reappeared right next to him. The flash of gold that disappeared in sparkles would show that it was not a typical aparation. "Rough day?"

--well, you don't get much more radient then a love goddess, do you?
"Excuse me?" he managed after a moment. "What the devil are you on about?" Only Severus Snape would choose to mouth off to said goddess.

That's not the first time he's heard that name, but-- he best find out about this man who shares his face.
He stops just before the odd boy and takes off his glasses, squinting at him.
"Young man, I'm not this 'Vector' person. My name is Severus Snape. I've been informed we bear a striking resemblance, however..." He tucks the glasses away, Bakura having his full attention for the moment.

If just to head off possible trouble.
