[The thing is Kamala is happy to accept so little because she's aiming for zero. The truth is she doesn't want anything. She's thrilled to help. Everything may suck for her, but at least she can do this one good thing for someone else. She looks ready to let him off the hook with quiet reassurance not to worry about it.
He comes through in the most horrifying way possible. Make no mistake: Kamala is freaked. She looks at the man like she isn't sure what to make of this development. It doesn't take her long to think back on how people treated her abilities back home. This is freaky, yes. It comes from a good place. She relaxes when it is clear this is an act of kindness in return even while being super, super weird.]
No promises since my parents definitely kept me away from horror movies so I'm really scared right now but... [Kamala smiles wide as it finally sinks in what this means. They're going to eat. One good deed begat another. She is humbled and so very happy because God she is hungry. She really does need this.]
I can't stress this enough; I didn't do this to get anything back so thank you. Thank you so much. [She rushes up to hug this perfect stranger.] I will figure out who knows how to do that stuff. Just! Thanks!
[She laughs from the pure thrill of real food regardless of how he takes her physical affection. Something once again clicks and Kamala realizes her mistake.] Oh my God! What's your name? How did I never ask?! You must think I'm such a jerk. I always forget this stuff, I swear. I'm not being mean.
