She follows amicably.

Polly's does omelettes and pancakes and toast and waffles and French toast with various toppings, and sides of sausage and bacon and fruit and oatmeal and yogurt.

She looks the menu over and puts in an order for waffles with scrambled eggs and sausage.

Vince orders a ham and cheese omelette and soon their food appears.

Om nom.

So, is there anything she should know about the avalon or anything?

"Uh, if you're stuck here we probably wanna find a monster family for you to live with, yeah? So you'll have somebody looking after you."

She's willing to meet people but she's pretty picky about grownups, she might rather just get a job and live by herself.

"How old are you?"

Thirteen; fourteen soon. But she's an independent sort, and smart, and her magic is really good; she'll probably be okay.

"It's pretty safe in the Avalon but I still don't know about a fourteen year old living by herself."

Well, she's willing to meet people, maybe there'll be someone she likes.

"Earlier I dropped a note at the council office about you. Haven't heard back."

All right. She'll be fine in the park for now and she has a couple of ideas for things she could do to earn money for food, there's no rush.

"That's good. What're your ideas?"

She can make organic things with her shapeshifting, to sell - pretty feathers or horns or scales or wool or whatever, things that are easy to take off. She doesn't know if people would be interested in that here but magical girls at home do it sometimes. The other thing she could do, which seems like it'd work better here, is make cartoon things for people - she was talking to someone in the park earlier who mentioned that homes here don't have a lot of space, so maybe people would like being able to pay her a little bit of money for a ladder that lasts a day and then disappears instead of needing to be stored, or a fancy kitchen gadget for a special meal they only want a few times a year, or whatever.

"Oh, huh, equipment rentals might work."

Mmhmm. She can't do complicated electronics - like, she can make them, but they don't work - but she can do most tools, it's not even hard.

"Are drills complicated? Stud finders? I can never find my stud finder."

Drills aren't. She doesn't know what a stud finder is.

"It's a thing for finding the parts of a wall you can anchor stuff on."

She'd have to see at least a picture and probably a video of someone using one. If it has a computer in it at all it's too complicated, though.

"Don't think it has."

She'll look it up and give it a try, then.

"That might not pay off right away, I don't know if I'd remember to find you next time I needed a stud finder. Or, well, maybe I would for that, but I'd forget if it was something else."

Well, if she's living in the park and only needs money for food she won't need very much money, probably.
