Crouched in front of a random flower, Lilo might’ve looked a bit strange holding a bottle cap filled with water out for a bumble bee, but she didn’t care. It was a hot day, and the bee looked like it could use some refreshment. Anyone that was going to walk by and give her strange looks for helping a small creature in need wasn’t someone she wanted to talk to, anyway. She was just standing back up, watching the now hydrated bee fly away, when Dani approached.
Walking or biking everywhere she went, Lilo knew her way around town pretty well. Not like she did back in her hometown, but enough to point out street names, the hospital, the major stores. And all her favorite eating places. She didn’t use any maps to get around, just her sense of direction and very occasionally Google if she forgot which direction the grocery store was in.
“Sure!” She offered Dani a bright smile. “Where are you trying to go? I know a place that has killer shaved ice if you’re making any pitstops.”

“Say less. I’m in.” There was no just folding up the map nicely, simply doing her best to make it into a rectangle-type shape and slip it into her back pocket. If she was going to hang about, she needed to have friends, allies. You never knew what trauma you were two seconds away from falling into - having a good team of comrades to fight the bad guys with was important.
Dani had never known a stranger and today was no different, slipping her arm into the strangers. “Let’s talk flavors. Do they have tiger blood? If it’s good enough for Charlie Sheen, it’s good enough for me.” She smiled over, where she was actually intending to go put off as a distraction took its place. “What’s your poison? Is it grape? Bet it’s grape... no, grape and cherry mix.”
“Am I right? Bet I’m right.”
