*Luke jutted safely behind a brick wall into an alleyway, closely followed by Cora. He relaxed against the wall and for a moment ran a hand down his face.*
Whoo... Yeah.

:::She imagined now that they'd stopped it was safe to ask questions:::
Luke, I don't understand everything that just happened...

*Luke took a moment to get his nerves in check. Part of him couldn't believe they'd gotten away with it. Another part of him knew they couldn't have gotten away with it. And a huge part of him just saw Cora get hit by a ******** car.*
*He couldn't stop himself from looking for injuries on Cora, that just weren't there.*
Cora, you just got hit by a car.

:::She watched him fretting over her, but apart from being upset for having caused such a scene, she really was in perfect health:::
I am starting to get the impression that this is a very bad thing...

Cora, most people aren't okay when they get hit by a Honda Civic. And...
*Luke looks straight at her.*
You're sure you're okay? Don't be a hero. If something hurts, we have to get you to the hospital.
*Luke knew somewhere that Cora could never be admitted to a hospital without identification, but he was not thinking about that at the moment.*

:::She just shakes her head, and looks at Luke with deep conern:::
Luke, you know this. You know I'm... different from other humans.... Really. I'm alright. Are YOU alright?

*At the question, Luke becomes more aware of his stance and demeanor. He stands up straighter and visibly becomes more aloof.* What? Me? *He smirks in what he must have thought was an easy fashion.* No. C'mere.
*He gives her a quick hug.* I've got the stuff. It's you I'm worried about. Giving me a heart-attack running into rush hour traffic.
*He lets go.* Alright... *The question brings him back to reality, and he's able to explain to Cora traffic lights and their purpose. He talks about the laws of crosswalks and pedestrians. He explains the police and their role in such circumstances, and how it could have gone badly for them should any have become involved.*
We're just lucky that ******** didn't hit you next to a donut factory.

My goodness! :::She exclaimed::: When you were threatening that man with all sorts of things that would happen to him if the 'cops' were present. The POLICE do that? Why... that's terrible! The system really was in utter disarray during this time!
:::She goes on for a bit, starting to use really big words about buearocratic formality misposition...and subconciously knows that Luke won't understand a word of it, so she trails off to herself:::

*Luke responds with something Cora won't understand.*
The only friendly cops are the ones on the Village People, but uh, they're not my kind of friendly. Good thing the cops are never there when you need them...

:::She stops...and blinks a few times:::
I'm friendly... now....
:::But she thought it was best they move on:::
So, what do we do now? Do we still have to hide?

*Luke thought about that. It had been awhile now since the accident had happened... and with how fast things moved on South Street, it was certainly old news by now.*
Yeah, I think the coast is clear. As long as we remain inconspicuous. *points at her.* No more getting hit by cars, that's high profile.

*Luke took a deep breath as they stepped back onto the sidewalk. He kept a sharp eye around him. With their little display at D'Angelo's mixed with their car accident, he'd have to keep an eye out, especially if anyone familiar had seen them.*
You wanted to check out that flower shop, right?
