Kip leads the way to a sheltered place where they can sit and talk. He'll tell stories about his adventures if she likes, or listen while she talks. However, he'll also keep an eye out for danger.
After all, it's been a weird day.

Kip: Empathy: +1 Roll: +2 Total: +3 Foxglove: Rapport: +1 Roll: -1 Total: +0
Foxglove: Empathy: +0 Roll: +1 Total: +1 Kip: Rapport: +1 Roll: +0 Total: +1
Foxglove is quite happy to listen to Kip's tales of heroics, which she greets with appropriate 'oooh's and 'aaah's at the more heroic bits. In the face of such a listener, who takes every word at face value, there's always a great temptation to inflate one's own part in the narrative somewhat...
Between the gaze she turns on him, the way she sits very close, and the fact that she doesn't once take her eyes off him, it's pretty clear that Foxglove is very much Attracted To Kip. This scene of idyllic bliss (in Foxglove's eyes, at least) comes to an end when Kip asks what Bud and Lou are doing now and Foxglove admits that "They left through the back door about twenty minutes ago. But you'd just got to the bit about swinging from the chandeliers and I couldn't interrupt you there!"
The chandeliers in question had been three heroic tales ago.

"Oh well."
Kip doesn't like to exaggerate, that tends to lead to problems later on. However, he does spring to his feet and briskly run his paws together.
"Well, we better go and check to see if they left anything of yours. Do you know where you're going to stay?"

"No." admits Foxglove, her ears drooping slightly.

Hex goes on to his room, shuts the door and quickly falls asleep in his bed.

"Huh. Well, I can talk to Avery when we get back, but let me think while we grab your stuff and see if I can think of any place you can stay at."
Kip does just that.

Kip: Academics: +2 Roll: -2 Total: +0 Target: +1
Kip knows of nowhere that's open off-hand. Of course, given the number of abandoned buildings, hollow trees, and soforth in the city, one can hardly fail to find someplace if one looks, can one?
Foxglove flies up to take down her sleeping perch, and - "My nightcap!" she exclaims. "It's gone! Someone must have taken it! Do you think that was Bud and Lou?"

Kip shrugs.
"Huh, I don't know. In any case let's get things gathered and get out."
Kip will take a look around for curiosity sake before helping carry belongings.
"I think the best bet is to get you into a hotel and then look for a new place in the morning. Sound good?"

"Sounds good." agrees Foxglove, still looking about for her nightcap.
The living arrangements are spartan; aside from the sleeping arrangements, there's a cauldron full of congealing (not to mention cold) yuk, and a shelf of thick human-sized books (if they're not encyclopedias, they're clearly reference tomes of some sort).
It's not long until Foxglove has all her stuff in two bundles - a big one and a little one. The nightcap remains missing.

Kip takes a look at the books, notes their titles and decides to mention them to Hex when he gets back. He grabs the big bundle, and takes a last looks around.
"Well, off we go!"

The titles are... strange. They're in no language Kip knows, and seem almost to shift and ripple as he looks at them.
They are clearly magic books.
Foxglove appears to be too busy admiring Kip's strength and musculature (particularly as pertains to his ability to lift the big bundle) to take any particular notice of him noticing the books.
--------------
She's installed easily in a hotel, and Kip returns to HQ and gets a good night's sleep.
