Although, looking at herself now, she wonders if she might have done better staking her claims on a clothing store. She picks a chunk of what appears to be skin out of her hair, nose wrinkling.
"I could use a lookout and you could probably use shoes. Once you're not, you know." She gestures at his gorilla body. He said he would only be like this for a while. "In case whatever this thing is has a mommy."
