[ again, law simply hmms at that — he can understand why she'd do it, keeping her family name a secret... if anyone with a grudge towards big mom showed up here, they might very well take it out on her. if she is the same pudding he's thinking of. but that's not something he can confirm until he meets her in person.
whereas cora's emotions are switching from one to another, law has managed to slam the lid on his — the worst of the shock has worn off, and though the intense relief still simmers under the surface, he's grown to be good — has had to be good — at compartmentalizing, at not letting any one emotion take over... staying calm and rational has been his MO for so long now, it's easy to fall back to it.
quietly, he makes a plan or two (or three) for what to do, should pudding prove to be a problem... and now that he knows others from their world could come here as well, he needs to have a solid plan in place if anyone troublesome happens to show up.
to the time-frame, he simply nods; if he wasn't conserving energy in case of a surprise fight, he'd simply shambles himself over the entire bridge. but as it is, he's not using his power unless he absolutely must. ]
Then we walk fast, [ he says, like that's that. and then, to the explanation of what the river is like, ]
Sounds like fun. [ said rather flatly. at least drowning isn't the worst thing out there, so if all the river does is send visions of that... could be worse. so he starts heading to the bridge. ]
Cora-san, let's keep going. The quicker we get out of here, the quicker you can tell me everything about this place. [ is that impatience in his tone? maybe. ]
