"No, thank you. But it was kind of you to offer," replied Alda, picking up her single bag and slinging it around her shoulder. "You go find your room, and maybe we can sit together at dinner, yeah?" She smiled and headed off after the dispersing crowd, pleased to have apparently made a friend. Maybe. Sort of.

If it was a bad pairing, she could always just project herself away while pretending to sleep.
