It was actually from this higher vantage point that Gran caught sight of the elevator further up the exchange. He watched in wide-eyed wonder as it opened, people were ushered into a tiny room, the doors closed and... once it opened again, they were gone! Some strange magicks were definitely at work here and proud Gran would weasel out the truth of the matter!
But first, he had to weasel out of the arms of a rather tall lady. This turned out much less difficult that he had imagined, distracted as she was with the crazy one what wanted to eat him. He actually expected so much more resistance at his departure that the lack of it sent him stumbling over Steel Wolf's shoulder and face-first into the street with an audible squeak. He remained motionless like that for a moment - face and forelegs against the sun-baked stone with the rest of him poised upward into the air - until gravity finally saw him flop fully to earth.
Gran was quick to get back to his feet, though. He shook himself off and, with another glance about to get his bearings, set off prancing up the Ruby Road Exchange for the elevator proper.
