She shakes her head. "Doesn't generative."

"Doesn't it?" says Cadra. "Are you learning it manually then?"

"Learning," she nods.

"Perhaps you'd like to come meet some linguists and they can help you out. I'm sure the Adaros have some scarves you can borrow and changes of clothes so you won't attract attention on the train?"

Adaros scurry.

The twins have a brief discussion and then Odette nods.

Adaros come back with clothes in close enough to their size.

"They can change their hair with magic," says Alaior.

"Can they," says Cadra.

Odette changes her and Illia's hair yellow.

"Oh, splendid. Can you do that to other people too?"

"Do other people," she confirms.

"Interesting. We'd attract less attention on the train if I looked temporarily yellow too."

She waves a hand unnecessarily and her hair turns yellow.

She peers in a wall mirror. "Fascinating. Will you be so kind as to change into local clothes and accompany me to the Senator's office?"

She nods, and an illusory privacy screen goes up. When it comes down, the two of them have changed into the provided local clothes. Their original garments are bundled into an unrecognizable as anything in particular except fabric lump in the crook of her arm.

"Perhaps the Adaros have a shopping bag..."

They do.

That works. Clothes and language notes go in the shopping bag.

"The train station is just down the way. Do you have trains?"

Headshake.

"Trains are a conveyance that travel along tracks, in this case through underground tunnels, so people can get near their final destinations quickly. We'll just go in and I'll pay for all of us and we'll sit there for a few minutes and get out at a different station."

Illia seems very intrigued by this description!

"I'd rather no one notice your alien abilities or your accents on the way, is that all right?"

"All right."

And Cadra leads them out the door.

It's really hot out, and sunny.

Bit of a change.

Odette doesn't float at all.

And neither of them talk.

And there are stairs down into a nice breezy ventilated subway station and they wait forty-five seconds and then a train pulls up! People get off it, and then they and others can get on.
