Poppy is used to the heat, given that the school she attends is located in a desert region of her homeworld. But that said, the school is also home to many wizards who know how to magically cool down the air on campus, so the only time Poppy really experiences the full heat of Calimshan is when she (so very rarely) ventures outside of the school's walls.
All that is to say, she's not faring very well in the recent heatwave, so any offer of a cool drink is enough to snag her attention. Even more so when the offer is coming from someone who looks to be around her size!
"Oh!" It's been so long since Poppy saw a fellow small folk, that she doesn't entirely realize that she's staring at first, but finally she clears her throat and hurries over, trying not to be too embarrassing in her excitement to see someone like her.

"Pardon me, but are you a halfling?"
