[Evil Tink]

The young woman sighed deeply, taking his hand as it was offered and pulling herself up using him as a counter weight. Her deep auburn eyes watched him for a moment before glancing up and down the street; just in case. Her breathing was still rather labored and now she was starting to feel lightheaded. Perhaps she stood up too fast. She put her hand on his shoulder, using him to mostly support herself while she tried to catch her breath. After a moment, failure was apparent. She could feel a slight pain in her chest running down her left arm causing her to worry. She didn't want this stranger to worry, so she tried to ignore it.

She smiled slightly, straightening out as best as she could. "Must've stood too fast." She pulled herself away from the man, swaying a bit until she caught her balance and started towards the cafe. Her strides were a bit sluggish, the scrapping of her shoes on the cement one of the louder noises in the day-to-day background noise. She was most definitely exhausted, hotter than hell, most likely having a bit of a heart attack, and to top it off, relying on a complete stranger to get her to the cafe down the street without worrying about being kidnapped in her weakened state.

What a lovely day this was turning out to be. What was supposed to be a quick, sneak out into the beautiful day was turning into something quite different. She was just going to go for a quick walk around the block, just to get some sun and fresh air, and now here she was on the other side of town. She sighed in between her heavy breaths. This would only prove her mother right.
