Everest's flurry of words startled Juniper even more than running into him did, but she was a patient woman. Listening to him, she could tell that the child was upset, even if she didn't fully understand why -- ah, he was lost. Well, that seemed easy enough to fix. Even if it still struck her as unusual that a non-Fae child should be near enough to the Village to get lost here.
"Don't worry; I can help." She smiled, trying to put the boy at ease. "You're in the Bodega -- the marketplace of Sidhe Village. Where are you supposed to be?"
If she hadn't been carrying all her shopping, she would have bent to pick up Everest's notebook for him, but since her hands were full, she'd just feel grateful that she hadn't dropped her packages.
