I defltly step in front of Luisa, spinning to face her. I place my right hand on her left shoulder. "I'd be happy to show you upstairs to the guest rooms. I could even carry your bag for you."

Taking the bag from Luisa, I am surprised by its weight. 'Did she carry that all the way up from the docks,' I think, 'she's stronger than she looks...and she doesn't look weak by any means, just smallish.'
