[The clinking noise doesn’t register to her right away as someone approaching. Vaguely she has a thought that it reminds her of chimes, but it isn’t until she sees the glint of something out of the corner of her eye and movement that it dawns on her that there IS someone. She doesn’t jump up, but she tenses and whips her head around to look the Phos, eyes widening in surprise.
Phos is certainly unique to see, after all; Rei can’t help but stare. Slowly she takes in the hair and the unnatural way light seems to glint off of it, the strange color of their skin (paper than even herself it seems), the gold arms... the words “Not Human?” Flash in her head like a beacon. But they don’t appear threatening, so after a bit Rei looks away again to jot down some quick notes in her notebook. Just observational, factual notes.]
I’ve had better days. [She glances to the side at them again.] I'm not from around here. I’m going to assume you aren’t either? You don’t look like a native. [Just... just sayin’. Maybe a little too bluntly, but it was the truth!]
