"I have a talent for languages. Plenty of Thulians do learn English growing up, but we mostly learn it from other Thulians who speak it as a second language; it took me a while after we moved the first time to pick up this accent."

Out to the car they go. "I thought it was really hard to pick up native-quality accents after age, I don't remember, nine, ten?"

"I was eight," she shrugs.

"Ah, I see."

"But I'm also just a really good mimic, I'm pretty sure that helped."

"Yeah, what else can you mimic?"

"Oh, just about anything," she shrugs. "Who do you want to hear an impression of?"

"...Can you do Jessica?"

Without missing a beat, she utters in spot-in imitation of Jessica, "We actually have lesbians in Forks!"

Bella cracks up.

Solvei giggles.

"Okay, have you known me long enough to do me, I'm curious now."

She doesn't just put the voice on for this one - she gets the expression and bodily mannerisms down too. "You underestimate my powers if you think I can't do this in two days."

Bella laughs. "Oh man, that's exactly how I would've put it, too."

As herself again, "I mean, even if I suddenly became taller and whiter I couldn't impersonate you for long, there's more to a person than just how they talk. But yeah. I do very accurate impressions."

"It's a very cool ability even if it's impractical for becoming a tiny super-spy."

"I could totally be an actress, for example."

"You could! Is that what you wanna do? ...Also you need to be giving me driving directions here."

"I'm not sure either. Might go for being a doctor, as more or less the boring option. Research probably, not patients."

"Doctor is the boring option? What's the exciting option?"

"Politics. More like 'the ACLU' than like 'run for President', though not necessarily much like either one."

"Huh. Well, good luck."

"Thanks."

More directions!
