He tilted his head to look up at her sideways, frowning slightly at her and contemplating her and the offer. "You might." His voice seems strangely cultured for a street person.

She crouched down beside him, handing him a heavy gray wool blanket as she shook her head. "You seem unlike most of the people I see here. You've fallen on hard times, no doubt."

He took the blanket, wrapping it carefully around his legs.

"One could say that, yes." Hard times. if an asylum fits into your definition of that.

Harry gave her a tight-lipped suspicious look.

She pulled the bread and cheese from her bag and offered them to him. "It's not much, but perhaps eventually you will come to trust me and come."
