The woman shrieks when the cup levitates.

And Nita [flinches slightly and braces herself for the shouts of "freak" that can't happen when she doesn't even know the language and] drops the cup back with Emma.

"I promise we teleported!" Nita teleported, Emma can barely manage telepathy, close enough. "If that is really a map of the world and not, um, a prank or a book or something, we are very lost and I don't know how to get back to Jerhattan!"

"How did you do that?!?!"

"...I, uh, am really not good at theory and all I know is 'quantum mechanics somehow', sorry." She hides the offending cup behind her back. "Um, I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry, it was just an easy way to explain."

"Are you really aliens?"

Emma doesn't want to start an entirely telepathic conversation with Nita while she's still recovering, but she can manage bouncing a translation of that last word with a visual of their faces with green antenna. Nita giggles weakly around another sip of water.

"Uh, you look pretty normal to me except for the hair, but unless you're lying about what the planet looks like, um, that is not my planet. So we're going to have to figure out how to get home, but uh. Yeah, I guess?"

"The hair - the - that's your real hair colors, then?"

"Yes! And people know about telekinesis and I know where all the countries are and- oh god, you're not going to burn us as witches or something, are you, once Nita is rested we can just go home..."

"- what? No! You're aliens who can travel to other planets!"

"...uh... it wasn't really on purpose? And we want to go home eventually, I mean, it's, um. Home. My parents are there, Nita has siblings, you know. But I bet there's like, businessmen who'd pay Nita to run trade ships or something eventually." She can just imagine her father's face- well, now she's tearing up again, but he'll be so excited when (yes when, not if) they get home to Jerhattan.

"I - we need to get to more planets, we need to be able to colonize planets -"

"Uh. I mean, that's not that surprising? Um, we're working on it but I don't know how the ships are doing, they only even just finished the space station. Maybe Nita can get that to work too, but we don't even know what she did? Seems like the sort of thing that governments and business people would talk about, all our governments are working on the space stuff together."

"- you only have one space station?"

"We only just finished it so, uh, yeah?"

"We have moon arcologies, we can live in space, we just need to get to planets with the right length of seasons and atmosphere -"

"Uh, we have a moon base, if that's what you mean by arcology? The space station is to build colony ships, not to live on."

Nita tugs on Emma's leg. "...I moved a cup and she shrieked and you have just been babbling. Explaaaaaain," she complains.

"She's really into space or something? Uh, or drank their version of the space station koolaid, I don't know. She keeps asking about planets but their space stuff sounds way ahead of ours, it's weird. You okay? I can't talk to both of you at the same time unless I" bounce the translation, and-

-ow, okay, later.

"- do you need anything besides water -"

"She wants to know if we need anything. Um, you're probably our only way home, so... what do you need?"

"Sleep. And food and water. And sleep," Nita says, tempted to laugh but far too tired to try. "I don't even know how I got us here, either."

"She says mostly just tired and hungry, but we don't have, um, money or ID or anything, is there somewhere we could go? A shelter or something?" She probably needs a longer term plan than that, but she has a lot of internal screaming to do before she can worry about anything else.

"- I can take you into the clinic but people will notice you. They won't - nobody'll hurt you, you're aliens, but you might get whisked off or asked a lot of questions or something, I don't know, I'm not an alien -"
