"I would like a room key, please." She nearly jumps when it simply appears; by now she should be starting to expect this but, of course, does not. The way she cups the small silver key in her hand is both protective and shy. "Ah, thank you."
She's not even sure who she's thanking.
"[Grandmother], thank you for your help. It is much... valued." The honorific having been shared, she bows lightly to Sallie. "I think now I will be able to find my way."
Being lost is, of course, something that must be measured in degrees.
