[ Arlecchino's gaze slides briefly to the flying rectangle. Talking machines aren't uncommon where she comes from, but this one has a simple design that borders on severe. It's elegant in its own way, and might even appeal to her more than the overly elaborate humanoid designs she's used to. ]

If so, then it's welcome to stay. The moonlight is better appreciated with company, after all.

[ There's a smooth lightness to her voice that suggests a jest, but neither does she shoo the little creature away. It does a scurrying donut before breathlessly gaping up at the present company.

Arlecchino looks back up at the hooded woman and her flying companion. ]

Care to join us? It would be a shame not to capitalize on a fortuitous meeting.

[abandonware]

Join you?

[It's still a surprise whenever anyone, particularly a stranger, offers things like this. Even shallow companionship was leaps and bounds beyond what she'd experienced in her world. But to most people here, A2 recognized she was a curiosity at the very least.

So, she nods after a moment's hesitation, eyeing the lizard and the woman quizzically in turn.]

Fine.

[... The lizard is staring at her with its beady little eyes and unassuming face. A2 studiously ignores it, turning instead to Arlecchino.]

... You're new here.

[Queen of making conversation!]
