Amelia smiles, nodding her agreement. "Yes, I think those will do well. They'll all keep until he joins us in a few hours." The rogue steps forward and orders a half dozen cookies, two each of three varieties. Even if she doesn't have any herself, they're all ones she's learned Thor enjoys above others. She might as well make sure whatever's left outside her shortbread cookies will be properly enjoyed.
Once they have everything and Amelia's paid, full price against the insistence of the young man behind the counter, she leads Jane back outside and then starts them slowly on the path back to her and Thor's home. It's a fair distance, but the weather is perfect for a walk like this. It gives Jane a chance to eat a little as well, if she'd like, and the rogue encourages it if the woman's feeling peckish on their journey. There's not as much to point out as they make their way through this end of Asvera, and no one will think twice about someone enjoying their lunch on the go.
It's only once they're far enough out from the village that no one's within earshot that Amelia allows her thoughts to turn back to the stories they've said they'll tell one another. She doesn't want to jump straight to it if Jane's not ready, but she doesn't want things to be too quiet with the house still a distance away.
"I feel as if I've been holding our conversation captive since you arrived," she admits, smile apologetic. "Have you any questions you haven't had a chance to ask yet? About Asvera? Or even the Nexus? Or... me, I suppose?" It feels awkward to offer herself like that, but Jane must be curious about her. Amelia's a good host and a charming woman, but that's not all she is. Someone who's loved the man she does must have some questions as to how well she fits in his life, different as it is now than what Jane experienced years ago.
