Well, crisis averted! For what crisis it was. And the important thing to Rena is that Maria looks like she's not thinking as much about darker things in the past, now.
Rena fishes out some coins of her own before taking Maria's offered share. Once the money's on the counter, the vendor's surprisingly more efficient; it's only a matter of moments before the cake's on the counter in a nice little cardboard box (pink and white, cut and folded and printed to look like a... well, a slice of cake. It's quite cute, actually, which makes Rena wonder a little if someone else was in charge of that. The man's wife? Hmm.)
She gives the man a polite thank you before taking the box, utensils taped to the side, and holds it out to Maria. "Here. Shall we find a place to sit with this?"
