Adrien was never going to let her leave the shop again.
She'd had to promise at least a dozen times that she would take care on her walks to and from the small, nearby university-- and she had been doing so, really!
...For the most part.
But she seemed to have taken a wrong turn while she'd been distracted by the lively, temporary street fair that had erected itself directly in the path of her walk home-- and how could she
not stop to look at all that!-- and now she was entirely unsure which street she was on.
Or which street she needed to get to in order to get home, for that matter.
"Oh, botheration." Malina frowned and stopped her futile pacing from corner to corner of the little side street she'd somehow managed to find herself on. She'd just...ask for directions. Yes, that's what she'd do. Adrien often warned her about speaking with strangers, but he didn't know
everything, surely. And she'd be careful!
"Um, excuse me?" She reached out to the first figure she managed to get to hold still enough. "I seem to find myself in a bit of trouble. I don't suppose you could help me?"
