(I just realised the first sentence of that last tag made no sense e_e my bad!)
Grace isn't sure how far she really wants to get here, but she listens all the same, keeping up as well as she can while she's still wearing her pointe shoes. Made for dancing, yes - walking around a lot? Not particularly. She makes a mental note to stop the next chance she gets to pull her boots back on.
She catches his glance with a look of wide eyed surprise, like she's just been caught daydreaming, although he doesn't seem to notice.
"Oh, no, I don't- I'm not really into that sort of thing"
A lot of what Harrow's saying, Grace finds strange. She feels a little like Alice in Wonderland, surrounded by peculiar things that are all apparently perfectly normal. Like she's the odd one.
When he asks her about what Londoners are like, she thinks a moment, casually guiding them both towards the nearest bench. While she answers him, she takes a seat and goes about taking off her shoes, carefully untying the ribbons around her ankles before slipping them off and rummaging in her bag for a pair of old, well-loved brown boots.
"It depends where you are - on the tube, a lot of the time people don't want to know. They just want to get on with their day - other times, they can be amazing. I had a woman wait with me once when my train was cancelled because it was late at night and she didn't feel right leaving me alone. Other times I've seen people just stand around and do nothing while someone's being harassed. It's weird, but I think generally people are okay...the city just has that effect on you."
