Lee wasn't going to take that for an answer. Surely she could use her legs for something else more important than walking. He was about to insist for her to take the money until Hester stood with a straight back and placed a paw on his arm.
"Leave it, she ain't gonna take it." Hester recognized it in Lily's tone.
And Lee knew better than to ignore the hare and her advices on these matters. So he retrieved his hand and placed his money back in his wallet, grateful for it all the same. "But if there's absolutely anything you need, Ms. Lily, don't hesitate to ask. There's a lot of us here who'd be more than happy to help you get comfortable until we sort this one out." He was probably letting on more than he could do, but what was a tiny bit of encouragement, right?
