"I…hope you don’t mind if I just hang around…"
"-Be my guest. It's not like I could stop you hanging around here if I had any objections anyway. Last I checked this was a public place!" She smiled and relaxed her frame in a gesture of eased sincerity and kindness, having quickly noticed the shocked reaction her question had received. She got the feeling she'd interrupted the boy whilst he was deep in thought, a feeling she knew all too well herself and could therefore sympathize with.
"You look a bit contemplative, or at least you did when I caught you off guard with that question. Something up?"
