"You can thank me if you survive the night," Natasha says. It puts her back down a little that Alex thanks her, though. Makes her wonder what she did to deserve this—both Alex's trust and the trouble she was going to be put through.

"It's this way."

From there, Natasha starts back toward the street. Her place isn't all that far away. Walking distance, though not as quick as she'd like considering every vampire in London is or will be looking for Alex before long, but if they keep their heads down and walk with purpose, they'll probably make it without attracting attention.

Natasha doesn't try to talk on the trip.
