[It's an interesting perspective, one she hasn't had any reason to encounter before this, and one that definitely does get her thinking. Competition may foster growth, but up against an opponent with such an overwhelming advantage, it's easy to see how that could quickly become discouraging.]

[Thinking about it leaves her feeling a little melancholy, but other than a shift in her focus to pulling the pancake up off the grill, it probably isn't very obvious.] But, on that thought, if you're looking for a place to stay, my temple has plenty of room that no one else is using!
[It's a bit of an off-handed offer, given the context, but her tone is sincere regardless. Perhaps even a touch hopeful? Wouldn't it be a good solution to both of their problems?]
