Airport...? Oh, no. Just something I packed with me for the flight! I figured it might help me pass the time while you guys were asleep.
[ They.. blink...As in the face on their helmet blinks. Trust me bro. ]
Um... you tell me...? I'd never heard of "English" before I came here.

I kn-knew it. All of you p-people and your flashy powers and your convoluted b-b-backstories, your Not-human-but-just-slightly-different bodies so it's okay for the audience to fetishize you...I n-never thought I'd have to deal with this crap outside of the pages of a book and now I'm c-constantly surrounded. It's like these places were designed to d-drive me insane!
W-well? What's your d-deal then? What sort of miraculous f-f-feats are you performing for measly mortals like us?

[Fine LOOKS HERSELF. Despite herself she is visibly kind of pleased. But don't think anything of it baka!]

No, never once...It startled me the first time, but I'm a little more used to it now - it's amazing how much technology can do.

[Rolls her eyes. She absolutely has fantasized about being the heroine in some gothic romance and so sees little to be amazed about.
Also all the horrors at home.]
