The voice didn't really give them away either, to Ren's mild frustration. She approached men and women differently; it was upsetting not to know the level of risk she was dealing with. Of course, her Acceptable Level of Danger had very recently been blown clear out of the water. She hadn't thought she'd ever find anyone more dangerous than the last man she'd lived with. She had. Probably because she'd been stupid enough to think that; every time she gave the universe a set-up, it delivered.

"Um, yeah," she said, noting that she hadn't actually been told which direction the campus was in. "I'm not really familiar with this side of town. Or... what side of town it is. But if I can find campus, I can get home from there."
Barefoot. Half-naked. Alone. C'mon. You want to help. You know you do. Feel that little plucking your chest, pity. Could you live with yourself if you left? Would you spend the next few hours wondering? You don't want to be the cause of the next missing person's poster, do you?
It had worked plenty of times before. Not always to her benefit, because sometimes people really wanted to be the cause of the next missing person's poster.
What could she wrangle out of this situation? Cash, maybe. Possibly a lift to 'campus,' where it would be much easier to swipe things like clothing, food, and money.
"It's, um... Saturday, right?" she added for good measure. It was Sunday.
