Totoka River I left your house this morning, at a quarter after nine

Head remained low, not as bold as many Huā had met in the past- which she appreciated. That and the words peace be made a good impression on her already, and a gentle smile touched her lips. The girl seemed to stumble on her own name- which was odd, but then again, she seemed to speak oddly anyway. In the same choppy and imperfect way that Huā spoke. She was curious, and the curiosity only grew as the girl spoke more.

Undersea... labyrinth? The first word was known to Huā, but not in the context in which it was used, the second unknown, and her ears perked with noticeable interest. You.. born here? She wondered with disbelief, and then- Labyrinth? I not know this word, is, is what? And suddenly Huā no longer had control of the situation- she felt like a child learning slowly from their mentor with wide eyes.
