I'm not the only one
Who finds it hard to understand
Kiada’s confidence gives Mallorie a little more assurance that this is, indeed, the woman to talk to. She relaxes a little, takes what’s said on board. Kiada seems to be straight-forward enough, and Mallorie appreciates her not dragging her into any particular attempts at…’chatting’. Which is to say, she makes a good impression on Mallorie, who nods at her suggestion.
She has nothing to do - nothing planned at least - and helping other people struggling here is as good a goal as any other. So Mallorie follows when Kiada starts to walk away.
“I’m happy to help. Would rather be doing that than sitting in the inn all day.”
She’s done that a few times already. Staring at wells and thinking about her situation. It never ends well.
She keeps pace, finds herself walking like she’s on patrol again, and asks, “What do you need a hand with? I’m still getting used to the place, but I have hands and common sense.”
Usually, she very pointedly doesn’t add. Instead, she moves like she has purpose, however nebulous it may currently be.
“Boring is fine. Preferable, given recent events.”
It’s the closest to a joke she’s come in several weeks.
