Unseen to Joan, Ren snaps a hand out to grab her - supernaturally fast - but yanks it back at the last moment. Unfortunately today Joan will have to make friends with the tree. She just can't risk seeming more unhuman than she already does.

But she does wince sympathetically.

There came that hospitality again - a community centre. "Impressive." Ren came up behind her. Put a hand on the tree over Joan's shoulder. Took a silent inhale (discretely not in the creepy Big Bag Wolf way). "Y'quite the Good Samaritan." She rumbled.
