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.

While French had not been her first language, it was still one of the more familiar, so the girl's slip brought a smile to her face as she beamed at her. "Did you spend some time in France or just learned it for the beauty?" She inquired, slipping into French as well. She could speak fairly decently without any accent when in French, but her English and her poor attempts at Mandarin were very foreign sounding - her Russian dialect slipping in.

Her admission got a relieved smile from Kate, as she nodded her head in understanding. "I've really only been around one pregnant person prior to this. I can't know exactly how she felt all the time but... I feel like my overall exhaustion looks much different than the strength and glow she exuded." But perhaps that was just because of Kate's personal opinion of Ivelisse and her friends strength. She had a moment of missing the other girl dearly, but she mentally waved it away - not looking to wallow on the streets of Diagon Alley. Hmm... The Leaky Cauldron was probably the best bet and yet... "Oh could you point me in the direction of the ice cream shop?" Baby girl had a sweet tooth, and Kate was powerless to deny it. She offered her hand towards the other girl. "My name is Kate."
