They'd already established that walking off the island wasn't an option. Her fingers tightened around the quilt in her lap. "But how will you get home?"
They were saying lots of things, but not all of them made sense to her. Strange phrasing, strange noises, a strange accent. She was giving them space, wasn't she? Lots of space. So, so much space. "I don't think I need any metal," she said, apologetic. She didn't know why she felt bad about not wanting anything.
She blinked. "That's. Nice?" She did not actually know how to respond to that statement. She certainly wouldn't disagree, because that would be rude. "That sounds nice." That seemed like a diplomatic thing to say. "You're... you're fine." That was not entirely true. Nonetheless, she could not bring herself to tell them that they were a bothering. She didn't want to be mean. She wanted to be nice, and polite, in a way that would get all large scary fire people away from her home. Even if this one seemed less scary than originally imagined.
