Any other person would have immediately recognized the latent sarcasm and lack of genuine understanding from that mumble, but Pearl just continues to smile absentmindedly at the first point. "Yes, we have!" She comments with a small nod of her head, simply affirming that suspicion. Being surrounded by combat-ready gems on high alert will do that to you. She's so glad he understands!

Then comes the suggestion. Pearl's brow furrows as she looks over the man. A night light? A place to sleep? Well... These aren't unheard of requests. But usually, the requester is a little. Small. And less fully grown and supposedly independent. "You're in a mall," Pearl continues her streak of pointing out the obvious, "Have you not been able to find a night light in any store?"

Her lips tug downwards, somewhat put-off by the oddity of his request. Eventually, she just hesitantly lifts a finger to point vaguely down one of the halls, hoping that maybe this is just a very weird way to phrase for directions. "I believe Beyond The Bath has some, some scented with essential oils which help with easier sleep." There. She helped! Even though this is just affirming her perfectly justified fear of most humans.
