Subconsciously, his hand went to his ribs as he listened to the women in front of him now. “Well I’m glad you were lucky enough to have that” his reply simple, yet telling. He was not as lucky as her.

“I don’t need any help” he continued, pausing only to add “But thanks anyway” simply not to sound as rude as he most likely already did. And then he snorted, his smile a little too wide now. Did he really look that young? That innocent? “No. Not at all. I finished a year ago” He supposed that it hadn’t been that long since he’d finished. “Do I really look so young?” finally deciding to ask the question in the end, his head tilted to one side rather amused. With his eye too, he’d assumed he would have looked older. It really did say something that this woman, Roselynn, had somehow managed to distract him with her silly questions from is second love. Food.

With his stomach grumbling, he turned again in search of the food stall his stomach longed for quickly, turning back after he still couldn’t find it. “Don’t s’pose you know where the food stand that sells kebabs are, do ya?”
Roselynn beamed a smile to the boy, and couldn't help but let out a little bit of a chuckle when he posed the question if he looked so young. "In my eyes, you looked like you could've been just finishing up your sixth year." Repositioning the cane in between her arm and her body, the woman continued "But, then again, I've always been terrible with guessing people's ages." Which was awfully true. Age was always something that Roselynn could never even come close to guessing right. It probably stemmed from the fact that she was so used to looking younger growing up, but now was a different story. Now she started to look her age, if not, a bit older even. However, she tried to hide that as best she could. Which reminded her; she made a mental note to stop at the Beauty Store later that day. She had a few errands she would need to run there.

"Ahh, yes. The kebabs." Her hands now folding together in front of her body. "I'd just point you in that direction, but, I'm guessing...?" After saying that, she gestured to her eye, to non verbally ask if he'd be able to see where she was pointing. Oh dear That might have come across rude as well. That was another curse of hers; Roselynn would typically say what she was on her mind without thinking about it. So to help clarify, she added "I didn't mean to sort of rub salt in the wound with that by the way. I can lead you there instead, unless you'd rather me just point it out to you."
