There's a brief pause in which Espie fears she's said something wrong. She's not sure what, but she's also new. she expects to make mistakes and probably ruin something at some point today. That was another thing you learned on the street. Keep expectations low and when things don't work out or your meal is terrible, you're not quite so disappointed with the results.

It's a brief second, though. So brief Espie's sure she imagined all the worst and that it wasn't anything odd. Even if it almost feels that way to her. But he's grinning and her own smile is wide as can be.

"Definitely in peace," she laughs. "I'm not really much of a threat to anyone, even if for some odd reason I wanted to be." She held up an arm, shifting her bag's weight to her other arm to free herself up a little. "See? Skin and bones. Nothing to be threatening with. Not that I want to, clearly.

I haven't really had this much kindness in so long. I wouldn't insult it."
