“ I can't say for sure . . . ” Ash mulls, scrunching his nose in thought. It's not as if he has any iota at all. All the same, he snaps his fingers and smiles. “ I'm sure you'll find your way back, somehow! Where there's a will, there's a way!
But for now, let's get you dressed. ”

she doesn't seem to care much. crouching down to fiddle with a newspaper from a stand. squinting. everything is so small to her.

He smiled more seeing how she reacted, adorable to his view.
"I see, they usually look weird to us cause we are so different from the species in that planet. Either they get curious or get afraid of us, When i see different species, as along is not hostile, i'm curious to know them."

She's not lonely, she claims. That's a good start, but her demeanor betrays her words. Ash's gut tells him that she could probably use a guide, at least.
“ I am! I'm a human. ” . . . As far as he could tell, at least.
“ That means you're from space, Echo? ”

"Pleasure to meet you, Echo. How is the world treating you ?"
Curious to know how the world reacts with her in it, if is going good or bad, whether being in society or something in nature.

Her general composure and body language communicates what her words didn't. She was very much out of her element.
