He is just one big bottle of sunshine isn't he? Cara thought, doing her best to keep her observations inside her head and void of becoming known publicly. While she was a bit overwhelmed by the positive and upbeat mood that seemed to come off him like a strong scent he had been nothing but kind and helpful to her. As much as her gut or whatever was trying to tell her to part ways from him already she did owe him at least her company for a while longer after everything he had done so far. It wouldn't hurt any and once they got their sleeping arraignments figured out she could part ways knowing she hadn't made it up to him for helping her.

That at least she had to remind herself as he spoke and for the most part admitted to what her internal judgment of him had been. The world needed people like him that was for sure to make up for all the terrible ones but Cara not so much. She was tired of trying to give people a chance no matter how good hearted they seemed, it just ended up getting her hurt so it was better to keep people at a distance and focus on what she needed to accomplish before setting out on her own.

When Zot brought up the subject of food she too was looking forward to something a little more hearty to round out a day of traveling. Not to mention it had begun to feel a little colder once the sun had begun to set so a warm heavy meal would be just right to balance it out. She took a moment to inhale through her nose, trying to sort out the smell of food from the blended mix of scents collected from around the room. "Something smells good whatever it is, must be stew though give how many people have bowls in front of them on the tables" Care replied, glancing around at the various tables to sneak a glance at what the other diners were eating. She turned back to Zot as he asked if she drank as well and she felt an internal knot form in her gut. "Yes but not very often, the noble women whom I was staying with for a while would offer some or wine with meals every now and then mostly for holidays or if we had important guests." That sounded believable right? While she had tasted beer and wine Cara never drank more than a sip wanting to be polite but not want to happen what she often observed in others when they enjoyed the intoxicating beverage. She wanted to be focused and in control at all times, unlike the occasional time she had seen the noble woman's guests often become bumbling buffoons with red faces from partaking of more then a reasonable amount of wine. Dancing or singing about as they stumbled to their guest room for the night, unaware or uncaring of anyone else as they carried on until sleep finally took them.

Thankfully Kimberly's return pulled Cara from her thoughts before she sunk too deeply into them. She offered her thanks for the water as the other girl set it down on the table. She took a sip or two from the glass as she listened to the explanation of the how they would go about getting a room for the night. "Thank you Kimberly for your help with everything. I wouldn't have known what to do or where to go without you so I appreciate it very much" Cara said looking at the other girl. Hopefully they weren't keeping Kimberly from her work or taking care of what she needed to do, honestly Cara would have understood if she needed to step away from them to go grab something to eat or return to work, she had helped out quite a bit already it left her wondering if there was a way to return the help back, to Zot as well. It would remove the knot in her chest at least about being indebted to either of them when it came time to part ways from them both for the evening and in the future when school was finished and she planned to eventually cut ties with people all together and be alone for the rest of her life. No way for her to get hurt if no one was allowed nearby right.
