Daine pulls up short, startled and then embarrassed. Mithros, now she's all but walking right through her friends. "Rowan, hullo. Sorry, I... things've been odd." She shakes her head at herself, because that's not much of an excuse, then offers him a sheepish smile.

The prospect of help with her bags is more welcome than it ought to be. She knows it was silly to make the trip on her own, but Kit's her responsibility more than anyone else's, and she already feels bad about the damage to the farmhouse and the extra work they've all had to shoulder since it happened.

Even so, she pauses halfway through the motion of passing them over. Rowan doesn't know where she's going with these, and though he's met Kitten before, the dragonet is almost unrecognizable now that she's grown. Even if she doesn't take him any farther than the farmhouse, it's still probably out of his way. "It's a bit of a walk," she hedges. "I don't know how much time you have to spare."
