"Sorry," Adia says quickly, looking a little embarrassed herself. For Zeus's sake, he's practically a stranger, she needs to stop emotionally fussing over him like a worried hen. "I know, it's a lot to take in, I... I just hate to see someone stumble through all of this without any help."
It was only a couple of years ago that someone she cared about very much ended up shot to death in front of her. (Like Freddy, he didn't stay dead, which made things complicated later.) Here, at least, she can do something, even if it's just a change of clothes and some well-earned life lessons.
That finally seems to settle her nerves -- not finding out he has a gun so much, but the fact that he'll stick close to the Plaza. "The shopping district is fine, too, and that's where you'll find most of the places to stay." She digs into her messenger bag for a pen and a piece of paper. "Would you like my contact information? I'm pet-sitting for a friend, so I'm in the Nexus almost every day."
Whatever happened to her, it must not have been bad enough to keep her from the Nexus. Or maybe when you're on the run from genocidal robots, nothing else can measure up.
