It's such a small thing to offer, but it means so much. Beverly doesn't know their story, but she can guess that their lives haven't been easy. If there were other earthquakes, or something similarly traumatizing, in their past, that could explain a lot about them both. Especially now.

She just nods, sympathy in the depths of her eyes. "Earthquakes can be scary, especially if you've been scared by them before."

Still, she's more than a little bit surprised at the offer. She hadn't wanted to push in, but now that he's made the offer it feels like an olive branch in a way. It's more than just the typical invitation.

"Thank you," she says, stepping through once there's an opening. "Is there anything I can do for you? Both of you. Even if it's just helping with the birds or bringing you mint to make tea with."

Or food, if they need that, too. Really, she wants to make sure they're both okay, in whatever way she can.
