...Miwa? [Jacqli may never have seen Menzies look as startled as she does to see Jacqli approaching her now]
I... [but she shakes her head, at a loss for words] Honestly? I don't know. [she's too embarrassed to have been caught out looking so vulnerable to think of anything else to say. and so she straightens in the chair, tentatively untucking her legs, slightly torn between staying away from...whatever it is...and trying to look more composed]
[but keeping her tone carefully calm, she attempts to describe what Jacqli just saw in as logical a manner as she can do, particularly after that mad display] Just...the damn things in the floor. I keep hearing 'em, but even out on the Plane, I 'aven't managed to spot a single one.
[this is, of course, working on the mistaken assumption that everyone else is also hearing things in the floor]
