"What-?"
She flies over to him, hovering above the ground so she's eye level with him
"β β β¬ββ ββββ ββ β...βββ¬ βββββββββ...?"
He pushed her back a bit.
"Personal space, and what the hell even are you?"
"..."
She puts her hands on either side of his face and rests her forehead against his, closing her eyes. They stay like this for a minute. Then she pulls away and blinks, looking him in the eyes
"Can you...understand me...?"
"What the hell are you-"
He looked at her confused as fuck, then she let go.
"Uh-Ya."
She smiles brightly
"Wonderful!"
"Mhm. What the hell are you."
"Ah-I am an Elaran!"
"Uh-Whut-?"
She saw the cats on his shoulders and one on his head then the one he's holding.
"EEP!"
She jumps back, startled
"E-Earthling-what are those strange beasts on you!?"
