( gustave would be the first to say he is not expecting any kind of assistance whatsoever, not for himself, and especially not by others. so focused has he been on his very particular mission of finding his friends and companions, that he's barely even given it thought that others, here, would find the time and breath to give him aid.
she definitely stands tall and imposing, and while gustave's response is to just about tense up at the uncertainty (โat some vague familiaritiesโ), the trio of (truth-be-told young) 'troublemakers' glance at the approaching woman with slightly more worry. )
I assure you that I can look after myselfโ
( he says as much, when one of the trio lunges forward, throwing a stray punch towards him. he blocks it, just in time, with his left arm. gustave feels nothing, but the attacker does, wincing in pain and holding onto his hand.
gustave shakes his head. )
Please, leave now.
( the trio is already mostly cowering, and they haven't done much of anything... suppose an intimidatingly tall woman does wonders to ones street cred. )
