"Doubt the new would cover one girl's death in this town," Angus muttered unhappily, though his shoulder relaxed and he cracked a cheerful smile. Destiny City's death problem was a subject for another time.

"Aye, I can manage that and nae worries, lass. This is what friends do."

Though he wouldn't have placed Cordelia on his friend list initially. Better t say they were allies at this point. But even allies were good to have in a pinch. Grinning now and feeling more like himself, Angus reached out with his free hand and ruffled her hair.

"Get along wit' ye, then! I'll replace the cold pack an' let you know about Bindhi once I get m'own update. Stay safe, lass."

Message delivered and hazy plan in place, Angus felt that he could go home down and sleep with a mostly clear conscience. Giving Cordelia a wave, he headed for the club's exit and home.
