[ there aren't too many people that archer knows well enough to rely on in olympia, which he realizes is a problem. he's reached out to some... but can't risk exposing himself to too many people.
in truth, if he could help it, he wouldn't let anyone find him. but in this case, that simply isn't realistic. he isn't able to return to his spirit form, and while his own skills are formidable, there are others in this city just as skilled: particularly at tracking.
which is why juvia might be surprised when he suddenly lands in front of her, jumping down from a rooftop to evade pursuit from some other enemies. he grimaces as he recognizes the girl in front of him, but without a word just grabs her and pulls her towards an alley. he can't afford to explain anything quite yet - for now he needs to just find some shelter, even if that means dragging her with him. ]
