When Shawn leans in, Helena curbs her urge to lean back, and instead smiles with just a bit too much tooth.
"Is that right?"
She moves her bag to her other arm and looks around. Yes, they're surrounded by people, but none of them are really watching what's going on. That's the beauty of public spaces.
"Oh, I think there's a bug, let me just--"
Helena darts her hand out, pretending to swat at something, and jabs her fingers into a nerve cluster in Shawn's neck. He falls over unconscious almost immediately, and she steps in to catch his weight, waving off bystanders with a cheery smile and a "Oh, I think he's just tired -- spends a little too much time near the fog. You know how it is."
It's a bit hard navigating while carrying a grown man and pushing a baby carriage, but somehow Helena manages. When Shawn wakes up, he'll be sitting in an empty alley with Helena looming over him, looking rather pissed off.
