Sometimes Shadow is kind of almost blinding. Zoey’s not sure why; she hasn’t asked, it’s not any of her business and she’s not quite to the point of risking revealing what it is she is to him. Not yet. She doesn’t know him well enough.
But his question? THAT she can answer easily. And truthfully. And does, with a shake of her head. “Absolutely not. No one from here was responsible at all. I promise.” She offers him a gentle smile. “Thank you, though. I appreciate it.” It means a lot, that he’s... protective of her. Even a little. She’s gotten used to being on her own. Fending for herself. It had gotten a little better during her jaunts around the multiverse but it still feels new, all the same.
“Although I...” she trails off before she can voice the question on her mind. Before she can ask him if he might occasionally walk her home after they’re done at work. She doesn’t know if she can do it, though. It’s too much risk to him. Better that Scratch keeps his focus on her. Than hurt someone else. She at least can see him coming.

Well. Most of the time.
