Merienda shakes her head. "Thank you, but we ate on the road."

She notices the woman at the bar finally, talking to the mother and owner. It wasn't busy and Meri had keen ears, so she could hear much of the conversation. After counting the words in her own letter, she approaches the woman.

"What a coincidence, that's just how long my letter is too." She extends a hand. "Merienda. And this is Calendi."

I'm assuming Meri can hear bits of the conversation since the inn was described as basically empty and they didn't mention attempting to keep their voices down. If she can't hear, just let me know and I'll edit things.
