"To be honest, I don't mind," Hayley replied nonchalantly as she climbed up a netted barrier separating two alleyways and jumped down to make a safe landing. Stopping to let Isaac catch up, she looked back at him and added, "I live on my own most of the time, so it's not like I have to worry about pissing other people with how I live, but if you don't wanna, then it's okay. I don't like forcing hospitality on people. If you think you can make it on your own, more power to you." Once the raven-haired man caught up with her, she led him down one more street before stopping at a four-way intersection.

"Head down this way and you should be able to find a safe shelter for the night. There are lots of empty buildings along this road," she said to him, pointing downwards from where they were standing.
