Oh now she'd done it.
"You're Mr. Sunjata's niece but you're from yet another world?!" Their voice practically dripped with breathless excitement, and there was a brief, peaceful pause as their eyes widened and the sheer wonder of that fact stilled their brain.
A very brief pause.
"So, what world are you from them? Was it more like Korofian or like Caido? Or not really like either? How'd your father wind up not on Korofian? Did your father come here? I think I would've noticed you before I did, you do stand out - in a good way! Like a golden butterfly or something. I would've seen you before, I'm pretty sure. I mean I've seen you before now, but I'd've seen you before then even so your father must've gone from Korofian to some other world first, but then you came here, so is this like... something your family does? Just hop worlds? You must like Caido if you're staying then. But wow, that'd be so interesting to just see other worlds whenever you wanted and I wish Mr. Sunjata had told me he had a niece, but I guess it didn't come up really. Is he a fun uncle? He's a good man, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a fun uncle. Is he?"
And with that, the torrent actually ceased for just a moment, if for no other reason than that the gathering of knowledge must occasionally be tempered by the need to catch one's breath.
