Of service to her? Aqua was suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed. Everything was a little overwhelming after wandering alone for so long. "You really don't need to go to any trouble," she replied quickly and more than a little awkwardly. Not that she was unappreciative in the slightest, of course.
She chuckled softly. There was a strange comfort in this woman's consideration, as though she was somewhat expecting it. "If I didn't want to be bothered, I wouldn't have spoken up in the first place." Celes' voice was gentle and firm. "But if you don't want to come, I won't hold you to it either." If there was one thing that Celes learned of being considerate, you can be too forceful in your concern.
Given a moment to consider, Aqua glanced around them, her gaze finally looking up to the domed ceiling above them. The city was far larger than any place she'd visited before. Having someone to tell her about this place would be a great help, at the very least and the ache in her stomach was growing. It wasn't really a hard decision.
"Your hospitality would be much appreciated," Aqua said, looking back to Celes.
"General Celes Chere." Celes introduced herself with a smile. She was grateful for the opportunity to meet a new person, and respected this woman's thoughtfulness. Certainly were their positions reversed, she too would pause to consider who this stranger was and what strange land they were in. "My apartment is a bit of a walk, will you be okay?"
"I'll be fine," Aqua answered, fairly certain she'd be alright. She was warmer now, which helped. After all the time spend walking through nothingness, a walk to a true destination would probably feel like nothing at all.
