What was Emerald actually doing in Fayren? Earning money to pay the bills with. Well, "earning" is such a strong word when you could use phrases like 'pretending to offer to help stupid old people pick up their groceries while relieving them of what's left in their purses and leaving them none the wiser until it's too late and they're still thinking that there's no way it could be that nice helpful girl.'
Of course, if anyone asked, she could use the excuse that she felt really bad about not being able to help during the whole Torchwick debacle that she was trying to look for clues about where he might've gone. Or even just say she was on the hunt for whatever bounty was in progress. Either way the story would be that she got distracted trying to help someone, but her choice of fake reasoning would depend on who asked her. After all, making a personal connection made it a lot easier to practically get away with murder. Sometimes literally. Lucky for everyone in Fayren right now, Emerald was only going for the figurative.
But when she spotted Zuko, she knew right away that her little ploy to help this couple cover their vegetable garden with tarp from Genessia as the rains started to roll in again, she would have to consider whether or not she still wanted to try to take some of their things. The wind was blowing heavily enough that she was having a little bit of trouble though, so she raised her voice to get his attention.

"Zuko! Do you mind giving me a hand?"
