Alice buys her a light dinner around five, pretending to drink her bottle of Perrier. Eventually they leave and wander down a side alley -- it seems safe enough here to do so.
The sun is starting to set and shadows are longer and as Alice turns to grin at Kate and talk about something inane, she stops --
a mugger steps out behind the building and he goes for alice because she's smaller and she seems like she's weaker -- but when she steps out of the way he goes for kate instead and then
--"Kate!" She snaps just as the guy comes charging at them. Alice, sidestepping and watching as he goes for Kate. In barely any time at all, Alice has wrenched him back and pinned him against the wall, her teeth bared (shiny, sharp and glinting in the dim twilight).

"Bad idea," She hisses.
