"Are there a lot of flying cities?"

Headshake. "One flying city."

"...seems like a strange number of flying cities to have."

Inquisitive noise.

"Oh, if it didn't work very well I'd imagine they'd - land it - and if it did I'd imagine there'd be more."

"Work very well. Big magic."

"So not many people can do it and the one person doesn't want another?"

"Not...not know, big magic, Atennesi Cohen big magic, not know big two flying city."

"What does 'atennesi cohen' mean?"

...She points at herself. "Odette Zavier." She points at her sister. "Illia Zavier." She points at Cadra. "Cadra Insho."

"Name?"

Nod. "Atennesi Cohen name big magic alien make Genosha."

Nod. "Do they rule it?"

"Yes."

"So it's a monarchy?"

"...is it a democracy and he just keeps being elected?"

"Monarchy...Atennesi Cohen not have child, Atennesi Cohen not death."

She makes a so-so hand gesture.

"Or not quite. It can wait. Do you think it's likely that other aliens will come here?"

"...Maybe Atennesi Cohen know not murdered, look us."

"...but otherwise not likely?"

Nod.

"Are there any other planets your people are in touch with?"
