"I do not know," she admits, ever-truthful, as her kind are. "You are the first upright I have met here, if those outside are uncounted." Given they were clawing at her hide, no, they do not. "You rescued me, and I thought, perhaps, you may help me with my wounds if you were not afraid. So many often are of us. It was a surprise."

Though her ears remain back, her her head bowed as she rises from the water, she gives Rey as polite a smile as she can muster.
