Greta lets out another short squawk, as if someone had given her a poke. He was on his way to rescue her, too?! Not that she'd expect him to just shrug and go about his day if he knew she was in danger, but the whole point of warning him that there might be trouble was so he could keep himself out of it. What if he'd wandered right into whatever trap they'd set for Iman before Iman and Rush had arrived?

But he didn't, and despite her growing mortification over what a mess this is, she's grateful that he was willing and able to come this far. It probably shows for the brief moment between his explanation sinking in and Iman tugging her onward, and then she throws him an apologetic look over her shoulder.

Well, this is all completely mad. She might as well attempt introductions as they hustle along. "That's, er, that's Rush," she tells the Balladeer, as if his name alone will excuse his behavior. "And this is Iman."
