"Oh hello! That's so kind of you to ask!" DID she need any help? Considering they looked very close in age, Kate couldn't at all bring herself to ask for assistance to hobble back to the store. She wasn't THAT tired was she?

But... maybe this woman knew the area better than her? "I was just taking a small break and trying to figure out where I should go to grab some food and a cold drink. Do you have any recommendations for the area?" she had probably only been offering assistance out of politeness but... it was worth the question!

She definitely hadn’t expected to startle the poor woman, but the tiny jump of surprise hadn’t missed Efa’s notice. She felt the smallest bit of guilt over having startled the woman, too, but the actual reaction had kept her from dwelling on it too much. Besides, there were other things to consider, probably much more important things, and her own personal research could wait. As could cuddling babies at the menagerie. “De rien”, she replied, involuntarily lapsing into French even as she became aware it was obviously unnecessary. Obviously the woman spoke English.

“I remember when my mum was pregnant with my baby sister”, she added, in case evidence that she actually could help was needed. “I helped her out a lot, when I wasn’t in school.” Aunt Callie hadn’t needed any help, nor did Efa think her aunt would have admitted it if she had. “Oh! Well, there’s the Leaky, of course. Or the ice cream shop, or the coffee shop. I guess it depends on what exactly you’re hungry for.” There was the butterbeer cart, too, but she figured that hadn’t needed to be mentioned. She would have been willing to offer some support to walk to any of the locations, too. Or see if she could get something to bring to the bench. In case the woman didn’t feel like moving.
