[Having a personal escort is so familiar to her that she doesn't question it at all, taking his arm and allowing him to help her. (That, and she knows her own limits and that her ankle isn't going to get better if she insists on doing things herself this one time.)

But she looks up at him when he speaks, eyes wide before she looks down, obviously worried.]

I did not think you were scolding me. I am not...

[Another moment of silence and she goes forward because what else is she supposed to do?]

I suppose it is because I am not used to it. That I could be in danger or that I could hurt myself...I truly have never thought of it. I have always thought...that if I could help, that surely...

[It sounds naive when she thinks it. It's not like wanting to help made her invincible in any way. And for the first time, she understands why it is that Rida and Adel worry.]
