Bennie glanced over her shoulder at Life, smiling. It seemed her old partner was at least willing to listen to her for a little bit, even if it wouldn't last.
But it was a good question. How would she keep Life safe? If Life's soul were to die and join Bennie in her realm, that would be ideal, but Bennie had a feeling the entity of Life wouldn't die that easily. The best course of action would be to just wait for everyone to be distracted and run, but Shoe was too alert for that, Alfonso was basically a master at hunting down cute little humans, and Ludovica seemed like she had her eye on Life.
Bennie thought for a moment. "Good question, babe. I'm not completely sure, but I'll figure it out."
As she spoke, she allowed her skin to secrete the pheromones that had charmed Life in the first place. Maybe she could distract the others that way and let Life just run. But how would Bennie track her down again afterwards? There had to be something she could use. A phone? An address?
She noticed Alfonso stiffen slightly. Shoe's ears pricked, and her nose sniffed curiously at the air. Good--that meant those two at least had noticed her power. It would affect Life too, wouldn't it? Now what?
Bennie groaned to herself. "Plans ain't really my strong suit. But if you could be a darling and run as far as you can for me, that'd be fantastic. Leave me some bread crumbs to follow or something, 'kay?"
