Not at all, it's just that I assumed your dialogue carried the implication that you're going to move forward, and that's definitely a process that requires a full turn to describe, unlike dialogue.

"Nope. But hey, there's grocery stores and what have you. Should be some margarine there."

Is there one extremely close by? Otherwise I'm going to be distracted by some oddity, go on a completely unrelated adventure, and come back about 2 years later with no margarine.

"Isn't that a risk we all take by leaving home in the morning? In any case, get on that unless you have a better idea. Maybe take Jo along as well."

"Why me?"

"Well, I guess lawyer-babe's also a decent alternative."

"Perhaps a better alternative, as I have no magic on me," lawyer-babe says.

If I end up returning as an insatiable being bent on devouring the matter of all in it's path just know it's your fault, then, the DUNKER says in a joking tone.
It was joking, right?

So, where's the closest corner store? Or supermarket or whatever?

"There is a mom-and-pop place about three blocks away, and I think there used to be one margarine factory in the district. Defunct now for years, no margarine in there probably."

We'll go there'll then. Come, lawyer person!

Let's go head over to that mom-and-pop store, after getting further detail about which direction it's in, etc.

Also, if you could get the margarine factory up and running again, you could probably make a killing off making disposable margarine assassins/protectors.)

Eta cringed for a split second when the vendor mentioned her shoe's quality. Even though he was probably just trying to get a better price and even though it was technically not made by her but by magic, it still felt bad to have someone criticise the quality of her creations.

"You drive a hard bargain friend. Consider yourself lucky I am in a hurry. It is agreed."
Normally now would be the time for me to talk about the excellent quality of my offered goods and accuse him of trying to rip me off before trying for a lower price, but I think that would take too long or is impossible. What would I even offer him? One and a half shoe? Besides, it's not like I can't make more.
Give requested shoe pair for food and drink.
If possible, try to pick a flavour that sounds exotic, like something I've never tried before, without sounding terrible. If I can't make such choice, then choose what I think is best. Failing that, choose at random.
If possible (if the train is not too crowded and if it is steady enough for us to move around while consuming food and drink) continue walking with Caradog. Else, eat first, then walk with him.
