"Ooh!" she says of the pen. She draws some squiggles with it and then switches to it.

Giggle. 

Police officers have closed the street and started redirecting the crowds.

Maurabel looks up at what's going on occasionally but is mostly doing the notes thing. Penumbra is more watchful.

The police officers wear bulky vests and carry sticks and guns, neither of which they have out; people are agreeable about being shooed. Some people talk to Aveline; she smiles at them and says something confidently.

Maurabel talks to Penumbra and waits.

Shiny metal things roll up at high speeds. More people get out of the shiny metal things. 

One of them ducks the police line and hurries over towards Maurabel and perfectly repeats the greeting she gave earlier. 

A few of the police seem to contemplate going after him and then decide not to do that.

She greets him back. "Hi. I'm Maurabel."

"Hi. I'm Afen Kisantami? I'm Maurabel. I'm Penumbra?"

"That's Penumbra." Point. "Nice to meet you, Afen Kisantami."

"Nice to meet you. That's Penumbra, that's Maurabel, that's -"

      "Aveline Santami."

"That's Aveline Santami?"

"That's Aveline, she didn't say Santami - what does antami mean -"

"Say Santami? I say Santami? She say Santami? Say?"

"Uh, I showed up and said, 'Hi. Maurabel', and she said 'Aveline' and some other stuff and when you got here you said 'hi' -"

"You said hi, I said hi. She said you Aveline, she said me Aveline Santami. You said what does Santami mean."

"She told me her name was Aveline. What does antami mean, it's in both your - names, if those are your names and not titles - Santami, Kisantami -"

"Ah. antami means -" he pantomimes writing something lengthy. "Title name."

"Writing?" she asks, picking up her pen and paper.

"Title name for - in writing. Writing -" he gestures to suggest a large category -"antami -" subcategory.

"Huh. Uh, I'm a human, Penumbra is an elemental, what are all of you -"

"Human. Elemental. I am Anitami? All of you are Anitami?"

"Well, I'm not. Probably. Depending on what Anitami means. Maybe you wanted to say 'all of us' - that would be you all but not me and Penumbra -"

"All of us Anitami. You not Anitami. All of those Anitami."

"It'd be 'all of us are' and 'you are not' and I'm not sure what you were trying to say with the last part."

He gestures out at the city. "All of those are Anitami."
