Placing her hands gently on Knock Out's hood, she silently urges her friend to stay quiet as the boy approaches, cursing at herself for not thinking to give even a few words of caution before the house's owners had pulled up. Please, please don't say anything...

"I'm so sorry to trouble you," Rogue begins with a friendly, bright smile, letting her accent flow thickly over the words to soften each and every vowel. It's a combination that usually works miracles with putting people at ease and she can already see it doing the job on the older woman. "I was trying to take a shortcut and got completely turned around. I was wondering if you could tell me how to get to the highway?"

"You have gotten turned around," the woman replies with a bit of a laugh, the explanation accepted without question. Pointing back down the driveway, she explains, "If you take a left at the road and go about ten miles to Melvin, you'll see the signs for the highway."
