It's a relief not to be alone, if she's honest. Out of all her companions, Gale is the one who makes her feel the most comfortable with his familiar presence, though she wouldn't admit that to him after having professed not to know him back by the nautiloid. It would be embarrassing to have to walk that back now, especially if she had to explain shy she'd say such a thing in the first place, and her day has been demoralizing enough without having to rehash her teenage infatuations.
That being said, she's long past that now. They can talk and act as peers, can't they? And yet there are some things magic alone can't accomplish.
"I can help you, if you like. Although I've been told that my cooking is... somewhat lackluster, I can chop ingredients just fine. What do you say?"
