[ she moves most of it before she sits, less a careful thing and more a sweep to the side, then she's sinking down and pulling her legs up cross-legged. the sandwich plate is offered out now, just generally into the air in front of her since she no longer has any exact idea where he's at. no candy this time, mostly because she's almost out and he already got literally twice as many as she's given anyone else so far.
if and when he takes the plate, she scoots back to lean against the wall just for something a little more grounding if her sense of sight isn't gonna be a thing.
