Well, that's a short enough time to answer, and a short enough answer. Short and simple, she'd like to say... but it isn't so simple, is it.

"Helping, hmm? That's... That's very nice of you."

Joanna looks sidelong at the heavy railroad tie, which this monster's so easily been carrying. It's hard to fathom why the wizard would want the railway repaired, when she can simply teleport around, and she's already set - or let - at least one monster on the train tracks in this year alone.

"And repairing the train tracks, is that helping, too? As long as it's helpful to someone, you're not distinguishing between the kinds of help you give..."

Or so she assumes, from that one word answer.
