Marion looks down as the man in hooded robes shakes his head slowly then digs one hand into the sand, propping himself up on the opposite elbow. He looks around slowly, groggily, then tilts to look up at her. Though his face is covered in sand, Marion restrains a laugh; the walnut-sized lump now protruding from the center of his forehead where the bottle hit him, definitely suggests the stranger may be in no laughing mood at the moment.
She does note that the stranger is not an elderly man as she'd first assumed; rather he seems to be middle-aged, somewhere in his late 30's she guesses.
(ooc: okay, Marion, Ethan you're up! Also, include a d100 Intuition check Mr. Brown)

"You took quite a bump on the head. Things might be a little fuzzy for a while. Other than that, how do you feel?"

It is still fairly dark out at the crack of dawn, and though her form is vague and shadowy, Ethan senses sincerity in her voice. Now, however, he has a splitting headache, and is not quite sure if it's given him double-vision, or maybe it's just fatigue from the lengthy earlier train ride and eventful night, or maybe he's suffering from a mild concussion or the darkness is playing tricks on him... but peering more carefully at the young woman, he's almost certain she's trying her best to conceal behind her, a set of carefully folded and pressed tight, large feathered... wings?

" My head hurts but I will be fine, some young kids hit me in the head with something but thats all I remember......... MY BELONGINGS ! WHERE ARE MY BELONGINGS ?" Looks around frantically for his napsack & walking stick.

"It's okay, everything is right here." Marion carefully gets his stuff and places it beside him, then slowly backs away a few paces. "If there's somewhere you need to go, I can point you in the right direction. But... it's getting late, I really need to get home..."

In fact, it's getting early, as in the sky's getting lighter by the minute and soon enough she'll not have the luxury of darkness as cover; the longer she hangs out chatting this stranger, who seems to be okay now, Marion knows the greater her chance of being seen.
Besides, this little pit stop has already cost her a good half hour of valuable painting time and she can't let "her man" down; he'll be expecting new stuff from her. Plus she still needs to visit her mom later; it is the anniversary of "the incident" after all... then there's that potential buyer coming in later this afternoon who is also going to cut into her productivity...

The girl takes a few gingerly steps around, occasionally kneeling down in near darkness to gather Ethan's things, careful to keep her front facing him. "How in the heck did she see that there? It's almost pitch black," he wonders. She places his walking cane and knapsack beside him then takes a few steps back. Sure enough, she's true to her word; all Ethan's belongings are present and accounted for.
Despite the throbbing headache, a feeling of relief comes over Ethan, as he knows his head pain will eventually subside; losing his gear, however, would've been a headache of an entirely epic magnitude. He feels somewhat indebted to this young lady, unsure how, what or why she did, but fairly certain that had she not come along, most if not all his belongings would assuredly be gone.

Marion hangs her head and extends her wings. "I guess this is the weirdest thing you've ever seen, huh?" She expects this guy to act like the young punks - running in the opposite direction as fast as he can. No use trying to hide now, though maybe in the dark he never got a good look at her face...

Magitek slowly rubs his right thumb over the ring on his right ring finger and mummers under his breath " By the power of Mytorr." then slowly... a sliver liquid begins to emerge from his ring and covers his whole body, extending his nails to metallic claws. Once the transformation is complete.. he simply replies " No."

ooc: Marion, roll an Intuition FEAT (d100) to see if you perceive the stranger's sudden transformation as a 'threat.' A Green or better, your nature instincts kick in and launch you skyward where you feel safest; otherwise you take a step back but fight the impulse to bolt, holding your ground (you can still take conscious action i.e., speak, deliberately take flight, etc.)

"Whoa! What the hell??" Hovering just off the ground, ready to bolt if necessary. "Are you one of those weird cult murderers like on the news?"

Magitek transforms back to his normal form. " Amazing !! As for your question ... No. What you have just witnessed was a combination of Magic & technology from another world. Very advanced stuff. I am what you would call on that world a Quist. Someone who studies Magic & Science. I am not Alien however, I'm actually from New York, I am here in search of someone & something. There is no need to be afraid."

"Magic, huh? Alien gizmos? What else can you do?" Marion comes back down to earth and steps closer, more curious now than scared.
