Her eyes widen as the reality of what Adia's saying sinks in. It had seemed natural to stay with with the woman after offering her advice, and to make sure she got back to her world safely. Had she really done the right thing for someone without noticing? Was that what people usually wanted when they needed comfort? And...
...were they truly friends so soon?
"I..." She's too stunned to finish her first thought. Slowly, she draws her hands away from her face and sits up. It takes a few moments of breathing to calm herself enough to meet Adia's gaze, and even then it's more confused than anything else. How is it she found herself here with such a kind person and why do they care so soon after meeting her? It doesn't make sense, not where a person like Amelia is concerned.
"I don't... know how to be someone's friend," she admits softly, resting her hands on her knees palm up. "And I don't know what to do right now. I'm not used to being around... well, anyone when I'm like this." Usually she drives them away or is hiding in such a deep hole as to avoid everyone entirely. Being out in public like this, and having then been found, is a new thing for her.
