The little I'ee ambassador wondered internally if she and Yui ought to fetch their vacuum suits when the time came to fly, if only to fit in a little more with the Yamataian pilots. Sally had lost her helmet some time before she first met up with the YSS Heartbreaker, so only Yui would truly benefit from it.
"It's lovely to meet you, Nitô Hei!", Sally squeaked with a gracious, little bow. "My name is Sally, and I am from the Ee'ith family. My sister, Yui, is my guardian." The I'ee glanced back at her sister before speaking in a softer, conspiratorial tone. "Do not mind her if she seems unfriendly. She places my safety above all else. It is her purpose, where mine is to be friendly."
She cast a nervous, little glance at the other pilots standing near their vessels, tilting her head to one side. "If it's not too much to ask, Nitô Hei, may you assist me in introducing myself to your wingmen?", she asked shyly, clasping her forelimbs placatingly beneath her mandibles. "I admit, even as an ambassador, I am a little out of my element here, so to speak."
