[ The stranger doesn't move, and while that's an annoyance, Fern isn't going to go so far as to shove him out of the way. It's not like she has the free hands to do so in any case, and so instead her eyes flick to what he's holding (she doesn't actually know what it is; cardboard is new to her) as he explains.
It's not a bad idea, and while she still eyes him with some suspicion — as if this might be some sort of ploy to steal her samples from her — after a beat she nods, and once he holds the cardboard piece flat, she starts to balance some of the cups on the makeshift tray. ]
