Galen nodded. "We'll keep you safe, then get somewhere to talk."
A teenaged girl dressed all in black, looked like a velvet shirt and pants, black sneakers, long black hair. Her face was set and serious but there was a wildness to her eyes and there was almost a feeling to her, like you'd almost expect to see a tail lashing behind her.
"Why didn't you go with them?" she demanded.
"Backup. I have your back if this gets hairy," he said flatly.
"We don't have time to fight, but we will have this out later. I don't need protecting, I'm expendable," she snapped.
"As much as I am. Let's just get to work," he said. "Who IDed the slayer as a slayer?"
"Faiyth," she said, flatly. "Saw it over the feed and called it in just after I noticed Ash."
"And she's hunting him? For sure?" he asked.
"Not for sure, but we have to stop the mall from becoming a bloodbath."
He nodded. "Agreed."
"And her?"
"She'll stay close, we'll keep her safe."
"We will?"
"You will," he said firmly. "I trust in you."
She growled. "Let's just haul Ash out of here." She pivoted on her heel and stalked off another way. Galen grinned and followed.
"We'll see," Keller snapped. "Now hush, we're almost to him."
"He's actually calling for help?"
Keller snorted. "The Goddess would rot first. I'm tracking his scent."
She turned down an aisle just as a very handsome looking guy - major vampire vibes up close, but.. different. The way James was different. Also his eyes keep changing colour, they start out a dark smoldering brown, but always as they change there is the same hint of silver James' eyes had. Poppy also had the silver.
"Watch where you're going," he hissed.
Keller grabbed his arm and shoved him back at Galen.
"HEY!" he cried, shocked as his eyes went almost gold and silver.
Galen grabbed him and started marching him back the way they came.
"I am capable of walking on my own," he snapped, but he was going with without much struggle, eyes turning dark green as they narrowed.
"Yes, and getting yourself killed. We have a car waiting," Keller said, walking backwards bringing up the rear. "Move faster."
"Fine, only because if you get killed instead of me, there is one less pain in my neck hanging around," he pulled free and started walking alongside Galen instead of being pulled along. He looked at Buffy, eyes going a sweet blue. For a moment he managed to look charming. "And who are you? A princess who needs rescuing from these ruffians?"
"Remind me why we're keeping you alive," Keller growled. "And move faster. We're leaving via Penny's. You got that?"

But then again it they knew, she wouldn't be as close as she is.
"So where are we going?"
