"It's hard to believe they exist, you know? I mean- I can see them, so it's probably true, but..."

There's more than a few things that are off about her at this distance. Her breathing's off, staggered and irregular. Her skin's a bit paler than it should be, even lighter than it normally is. And there's just a hint of an echo as she speaks, something almost dismissible as a trick of the wind.

"Shirley." He's the most relatable person to approach her so far - he's not hidden beneath layers of platemail, his eyes don't glow, and all things considered he looks fairly normal. Like someone she could run into in the mall, almost. (Okay, so maybe his clothing is a bit different, but - he's probably been here for a while, right? That's all.) So her smile widens slightly, a bit of her earlier hesitance vanishing as she responds. "Even if this isn't the greatest of times, it's nice to meet you."
