This pregnancy was something Kate had very much wanted, but she hadn't anticipated being as tired by essentially everything that she now was. Or how quickly she'd not be comfortable in her clothes, which had been the point of today's excursion. Her mother in law had insisted on just... ordering whatever Kate might need, but the younger Mrs. Kong had been feeling stifled by the elder, so she'd made a string of polite refusals and laid back on 'fresh air will be good for me and the baby' and then she'd been off as quick as she could, before the woman had tried to come with her.

Settling herself on the bench, she let out a soft groan of appreciation for being able to sit, before reaching into her bag to pull out a bottle of water and take a few sips. She'd bought exactly zero outfits already, so she'd still have to make the embarrassing trek back into Malkins after leaving so promptly but... at least that was a probably for 30 minutes into the future Kate and not the current. Although... maybe she could also just delay it further and go and get food somewhere first. What was good in Diagon Alley? This was certainly not the young woman's turf.

Time was going by awfully quickly. Although Efa honestly was finding it rather exciting. Work was busy, of course, not that the fashion world ever really quieted down, and family-wise things were exciting as well. Considering it was practically any day now that she was going to have a new cousin. Therefore, a shopping excursion was absolutely necessary. Both for Aunt Callie’s baby and just general necessities.

Granted, there had been a lot of shopping outside of the Alley that had happened, but the fun part of being a witch meant that extension charms existed, and therefore all her purchases were hidden in a single shopping bag as she had headed through the entryway and immediately toward Malkin’s. Research, and also just inherent curiosity as to their new stock. She wasn’t always working, after all. Sometimes she could just be a normal nineteen-year-old. And currently she was considering a stop at the menagerie to play with any kittens or puppies they might have up for adoption.

Either way, she’d been stopped by the appearance of the pregnant girl heading out of Malkin’s, and she adjusted her direction to head for the park bench. Maybe she could help, not that she had a lot of experience with pregnant women. Her mum back when she’d been pregnant with her little sister Léonide, but that had been four years ago now. It was worth a try, though.

“Did you need any help with anything?”
