"Well hey there, little lady."
"Oh!" Nicolette exclaimed reflexively, the sudden voice pulling her back quite effectively from her thoughts. It appeared she'd zoned out more than she thought, since she didn't even notice the man in front of her. She'd probably almost walked right into him! Goodness, she really needed to pay attention while walking. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Excuse me," she added sheepishly, and moved to walk around him so she wouldn't block his path anymore.
He sidestepped to block her path instead. "Naw, don't worry about it. Where're you off to, hm?"
The young girl hesitated as he moved in front of her, unsure about his actions and the reasoning behind them, and so moved back to go around him before they both moved. "Just, to the store," she said, attempting to pass for the second time.
"Gonna do a little shopping, huh?" He asked as he thrust his hand out and placed it against the side of the building they were in front of, effectively barring her path once more and halting her progress.
"Um, y-yes," she said uncertainly, looking from his arm to the freedom of the sidewalk beyond to his face. She didn't like how he was looking at her, though, and so she returned her gaze to further down the sidewalk. The store was almost visible - just past a few alleys and around the corner - but all she felt like doing now was going home and not leaving for several hours. Maybe make cupcakes, but that was why she needed to go the store. It was kind of difficult to bake anything when you were out of ingredients. With a deep breath to steel herself, she uttered another "excuse me" before quickly ducking under his arm so she could get past and hurry to the store.
"Nnnope," he said, not allowing her to get far at all before his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist.
Her mounting discomfort quickly turned to fear as he pulled her backwards, one hand still around her wrist while the other grabbed her upper arm to push her back against the building. "Let go!" She cried as she tried to pull her wrist free or push his arm away, but her fear and rising panic hindered her attempts. Frightening situations were definitely way outside her comfort zone.

She stepped backwards out of the man's reach and aside to avoid the Scizor behind her, the bug-type quickly moving forward to take her place and raising his large claws to clamp around the extended wrists. The girl, despite being the pokemon's apparent trainer, seemed surprised by his actions, though pleasantly so, and praised his response, "Nice, Senketsu!" Content to leave the aggressor to her partner for the time being, she extended a hand, palm up, towards the unfamiliar girl who had been the man's victim, inviting her to take shelter behind the large form of the steel-armored pokemon - or simply to take advantage of the opening to run, if she wished.

Nicolette watched the pair - and the man on the ground - with wide eyes, though any hint of tears they might have held previously were now absent. Her eyes widened further, however, as her savior - the one who could speak, anyway - voiced the thought of someone saying they were bad. "Why would they think that?" She asked, startled and almost afraid of how someone could possibly think such a thing. They had helped her and saved her, how could they possibly think ill of her?
Regardless, the young noble moved to follow wherever the other girl led, unsure where she was headed but wanting to stay with her for at least a little while, until she could appropriately thank her. With the internal reminder of her lack of manners, Nicolette raised her hands to her chest, sincerely grateful both that the pair were nearby and that they had been kind enough to aid her. "Thank you so much for helping me," she said earnestly, lowering her hands as she walked, eager to get away from the spot where the frightening situation had occurred. The more she thought about this girl's selfless actions to help someone she didn't even know, though, the more she wanted to cry. Such a brave, selfless person - she reminded her of Luke a little.

She shook her head 'no' because she didn't like that one bit, but the alternative alternative was to just escape from the situation without either party coming to harm, though that obviously hadn't worked this time. The dark-haired girl's question surprised her, however, and she blinked a few times. "Well, I don't think it's fine at all. Violence is..." Scary? Horrible? Terrifying? "...not good, but if it's necessary, then it's.. necessary, unfortunately..." This was difficult to think about, especially since it was something she had probably never given any thought to before in her entire life. Her gaze shifted down to her hands as she raised them, palm up, as she continued, "But I couldn't do that, I... It's.." How could she ever hurt anyone?
