"We are at war, yes," she says with noticeable lack of emotion. She's not old enough to honestly remember anything not war. But she doesn't much comment on it; the fact that she's plainly not anywhere near Germany now means her father's war is not her primary concern. (Until she meets someone she recognizes. Then all bets are off.)

"But you don't speak with a French accent," Sinthia notes. "Or even German. You sound English." This is confusing, obviously, by the way her brow creases. It's not the year; the year makes no sense to her, she can't process thinking that far ahead yet. It's well out of her projected lifetime.

She debates for a moment on what to say about his insignia before she opens her mouth again. "I wouldn't say I recognize it. I still don't know what each thing means, but you have four dots along your collar and I've seen no one else with as many." Sinthia does not add that he thinks of himself as captain, which is the surest thing she could point to, but letting slip she can hear thoughts seems both short-sighted and ill-advised in a strange place.

And she knows people don't necessarily like the idea that she's in their heads. "I assumed you would correct me if I'd addressed you by the wrong rank, so I guessed."
