Taking a step back to avoid the swing, Darin sighs hating that he had gotten into trouble so quickly. Shrugging it off as the nature of the world, Darin is quick to punch the man in the face with the arm he just had treated. "Damnit." Holding his shoulder Darin glares at the man, "You'd better get out of here right now."

The man yelps, taking a much better aimed swing for Darin. The woman's hand snakes out, quick as a cat, and snatches his wrist in a surprisingly strong grip. He looks at her in surprise.
"I'd take his sound advice," she purrs in a heavily accented voice, shoving his fist back into his face. The thug decides no purse is worth this and runs off. The woman laughs in amusement. "Well, that was fun! Do you always stop random trash blowing down the street, sir?"

Darin blinks, he had never encountered a woman who could hold her own like that. "Well I do hate litter. I don't know what was so fun about it either. Try not to look like such a tourist in this city, women always get mugged like that here."

"I'm not worried, though that's kind of you to say," the woman remarked, then eyed over Darin's wound. "Oh, that looks painful, and you just took down a thug. I bet you're a real terror at full strength, hmm?" She smiled coyly. "Want to get some lunch?"

The woman smiled, holding out a hand to him. "I am Pandora, Darin," she introduced herself. "It's a great pleasure to meet you as well. Could you perhaps tell me where to go? I am just visiting in these parts and am a little lost."

Darin shakes her hand. "Well that depends Pandora. What do you want to eat and what do you want to go see? There is a lot to do here..so you just have to decide what."

"Eat first," she decided. "It's been a while since I had a meal. So how did you get that wound?"

"Eh, stray bullet in Africa. Nothing to worry about though, I had a good doctor patch it up," he replied as if it were an everyday thing. "So what kind of food are you looking to try?"

"Africa?" Pandora repeated. "Ah, I don't mind. Something American that isn't fast food. It's not like we don't have McDonald's where I come from either. Hmm... What part of Africa were you in?"

"I don't know what part, somewhere near the coast I think. Hmm American, but not fast food..oh there is a gourmet restaurant around here. Its really just a burger joint, but the food isn't fast and processed like a fast food place." Darin puts his jacket on to cover his shoulder and points off towards the north. "Follow me Pandora."

"As you command," she says in a voice that seems to be hiding laughter and amusement. "The coast, huh? Well that's not entirely informative, I'm afraid. There are quite a few countries 'on the coast'. Africa is one-seventh of the world's landmass." She was proud of knowing that; she learned it at a museum she stopped by earlier that day. "Were you an innocent bystander or causing trouble, hmm?"

"You're right..it wasn't that much of an informative answer..truth be told I didn't have time to check where I was. And uh could I have been a bit of both? I thought I was there for one reason, but it turns out it was another..and there was talking and betrayl..and then gun fire." Darin explains as he leads the two of them to the restaurant.

"Are you sure you didn't walk in on a domestic affair?" Pandora snickers. "Though why were there guns in Africa? I thought those were unbelievably hard to get anywhere outside of America." She muses to herself more than anything. "Ah well. It sounds like a good story. Could you tell it to me in more detail someday?"

"I don't think it was domestic. The guys that did the shooting didn't look like they were from Africa, so they probably brought the guns with them." Darin stops walking when he is in front of the restaurant. "Yeah I guess I could go in detail, though it wouldn't be right now. Violence isn't a pleasant dinner topic after all."
