[Rosethorn's usually a lot more careful about checking buildings for inhabitants or other scavengers before she enters them, but the cold was so much worse today that she rushed the job and missed the obvious. Now she's standing in someone else's house, dripping melting snow on the floor, and feeling like a fool.
Her mouth presses into a line at the tone of the other woman's words, but for once she keeps her words in check. It's a much warmer welcome than what Rosethorn would have given, had their positions been reversed.]
My apologies. If I'd realized anyone else was here, I would have moved on.
