Vernon paused for a moment and glanced behind him.
"Hello there", he said calmly, "Can I be of assistance?"
He took a moment to acknowledge the stranger. Some part of Vernon believed that he might have been dangerous. He decided the best thing to do was stay cautious and try to finish this interaction swiftly or, if he was certain that this man was to attack or harm him, to divert his attention, strike a few weak points and escape. If he really had to, Vernon would transform and fight the stranger head on. For now though, Vernon decided to keep calm and stay cautious.
"Is there a reason why you might be behind me? Or perhaps it was just a mistake", Vernon asked.
------------------------------------
Vernon had been looking for information on a being who was considered a large threat to other beings. He thought that this stranger looked somewhat suspicious and decided to follow them, just to be certain that they were not a threat.
