That response gives her a moment's pause, and she looks rather surprised by Ellana's answer. But her aunt often cautioned her against assuming much of a person's internal landscape just based on the responses they give you in conversation--and really, Ellana doesn't know her well at all, does she? It would make sense that she'd keep any feelings she has about Sina's situation to herself.

"...that would be nice, thank you," she replies when Ellana offers to help her tidy up some of the underbrush. She gestures over to the wheelbarrow where she's been depositing the other branches and twigs. "I'm just putting everything over there for now, until I can sort out what else to do with it. Do you like gardening too?"
