Well then either the don't-notice-us thing is working just fine, or they're really good at pretending, and probably the former.

And - language language, she can do this with one person and there's a lot here, the same minds that shouldn't be noticing them know the language she needs and languages aren't private she should be able to reach them just fine. Mapping, mapping. She's done this before, it takes her attention but she knows how to be handling it. Language. Mapping.

"-Take days for everyone to get out. And the weather keeps getting worse."

"That's why the strongest of us are going ahead. Mark the trail and-"

"Mama, I'm tired!"

"But look, we're here! We just have to set up tents and help everyone get off the boat and we can rest a bit."

"That scout who went back south is just going to die like the rest of them. It's hopeless. Noble, but hopeless... I wish she would have come with us."

"I just hope we can find the new home. Does it even exist? All I heard was that the Lords tried to hide it from us, but... I guess I don't know."

She relays mentally to Genea. 

And, that sounds like people who could maybe use help alright. Still within shouting distance and not closer, she makes herself noticeable again (keeps Genea hidden.) Waves. "Hello!"

The ones who notice them jump! They mostly react nervously. The ones a bit further away pause work for a moment, then get back to it, faster.

A couple of them take charge and approach a bit, shouting, "Hello! Who are you? Do you need a spare coat?"

"I'm a peaceful and helpful visitor! Don't need a coat - but thank you. I have a friend with me and she could use one, but if you don't have spares I'll make sure she'll be fine anyway. 

We saw you from up there and though we'd see if we could help with anything."

"...We can spare one coat. Who are you? Where are you from? We'll be glad for any help we can get if this isn't some kind of trick. We've been tricked enough already."

"Thank you! I will pay you back. Or forward, if you like that better, though I could probably actually help more if my friend had a coat already.

We're from - pretty far away, we think, we got here in an accident. Probably accident. I'm Aye. My friend's Genea. Sorry about dropping in like this, I didn't really know how else to do it.

I am definitely not trying to trick you." If she tries to map to 'mage' in the language, does she get a word?

No. 'Wizard' and 'sorcerer' both kind of feel like the right thing? But not really, it's not that close. 'Witch' and 'angel' also kind-of-not-really fit, but are worse in two different ways.

"Leon, get one of the spare coats out. Where are you from? You don't sound British. The continent? America? Russia?"

"Not those. Or, don't think so. I can say Southern Crossing but I'm guessing that won't really help much."

Does she get one for 'magic'?

There is a word for magic.

"No, it really doesn't." He thinks for a moment. "We all know each other, in one way or another. There's someone to vouch for everyone. That's not true for you."

"That is true.

I did come and say hi though, when there's two of us and a lot of you, and I didn't hide and try anything not very friendly." Not that she'd actually have to hide to do that.

He confers with his friends for a moment. "Fair enough. You don't act like a Lord. You can join us, share our food and supplies, if you share our work."

"Thank you. My friend and I are both very opposed to Lords." And fortunately he only said she didn't act like one and not that he was sure she'd ever been one.

"Speaking of work - do you have magic here? Or something like that?" 

Well, some things don't seem to change much. I wonder what these ones were like.

"No magic. No miracles, no fairy tales. Just science and engineering, and when those won't suffice, where we don't have the tools - muscle and determination. Speaking of which, we'd better get back to unloading the boats. Come and join us!"

Did they give her the coat yet?

"I will absolutely help you unload boats if you want me to unload boats - also my friend will. But -" she conjures fire, spins it around in her hands. "Can't help with children's tales, we probably have different ones anyway, but magic I do have!"

Fire is alarming! Magic is also alarming!

...The guy unpacking a coat was walking towards her with it, but stops when the fire appears.

"Magic isn't real. You have - something. But it's not magic."

She dismisses the fire. "Sorry!"

She's agreeable enough to that. "Not attached to the word. I'll call it whatever you want. But I do have it so if you need anyone healed or near something warmed or something made fireproof or getting a look at something kind of far away and things like that -.

And if you don't I can just unload boats, I can totally do that too." Which is to say 'do healing and stuff when they think she's asleep unless there's some great reason not to'. But if friendly means unloading boats she can sure unload boats. (They don't look like they'll hit her, but you can't have everything all the time.)

"...Well. We could all use some warmth. Even better if you can make it last. I don't think anyone in our group is particularly sick or injured, we've been lucky. Though, you should probably really be talking to the Captain. We chose him for a reason. He knows what's needed most, what we need to prioritize."

"I can make it last. Not forever, I'll have to refresh it now and then. If anyone needs it right now they can stand near me while I talk to whoever I should to talk to. Or I can make something else warm." (If people didn't find the fire convincing enough they can also see her continuing to stand in the middle of the snow without anything like a coat (let alone a hat or gloves) and not looking at all bothered by this.)

Coat progress?

The guy who has the coat has started tentatively walking forward again! Almost in reach, now.

"If you can make the insides of our tents warm, that would be lovely. Or just an area around a steel post, or something. The Captain went on ahead, he should be less than a mile inland still. I understand if you don't want to spend time trying to catch up, though."

"I can do that. And, we can do that, no worries. Which one would you like first?"

The coat is successfully handed over. The guy carrying it nods at her nervously, then retreats quickly.

"Steel post. Here, we'll drive it into the sand over there. We can store things there, sort through it all, cook something maybe. And set up the tents while you do that, give the children and the ones who've been working longest a chance to sleep and rest before the hike to the generator. Thank you!"

They coordinate briefly so she can walk out from behind Aye and look a bit less odd just appearing. Can she put the coat on over her light armor?

"Thank you!" If they don't look like they want anything else she'll wait for them to do that. Does the coat come with a hat or gloves?
