[ Chloe wasn't usually the kind of person who approached obvious newbies, but this was different. Particularly because she recognized that face, even if she knew that she probably wasn't going to remember her in turn. Maybe they hadn't exactly been besties, but Ellie had been cool when they'd shared the studio apartment when she'd first arrived, and she didn't want her to be wandering around on her own when who the fuck knew what was in store in Deerington on a regular basis.
Luckily, it's not the first time she's had a gun pulled on her (or the second, or...), but none of those times really ended well and so it makes her stop in her tracks fairly quickly, holding her hands up just as fast. She tries to ignore the way it makes her heart practically stick in her throat, clearing it roughly so she can actually speak. ]
A maybe doesn't sound like a real even exchange, y'know.
