Her smile becomes amused as she bends to offer a hand to Alice, her palm open to the ceiling to allow the rat to crawl on.

"I don't need much help staying safe," she says, laughter lurking somewhere in her tone as she straightens, Alice in hand. "But thank you."

She watches him, mouth open a bit. After a moment, she tucks her wand behind her left ear (she still has it out from her little sojourn out of the cottage), tugging her long tumble of blonde curls over her shoulder absently.

"We were all in danger, so it only makes sense to worry about friends. I was fairly certain that I was safe--none of the...bobs? Are they called bobs? Anyway, none of them were out this way, so I knew I would be fine, but I had no idea about you and Katara and the others." A pause, and her eyebrows lift slightly. "Have you heard from Katara? Is she alright?"
