Jae nodded, understanding what the look meant, though she didn't feel a need to agree verbally. The best way to reveal herself would be to someone alone, in the dark, someone who had no idea what was going on. It protected the person and her as well, though it also gave her the opportunity to do something without the person knowing what was happening until it was too late. She was trying not to think about that.
Jae heard about a couple of those, but the others were foreign to her. She looked down, bashfully, and shook her head, "I'm only here because my mother told me to be here." And she obeyed her mother. Obedience and respecting elders were staples of her society and if her mother told her to go here, she would obey. It didn't mean she was brave, it just meant she listened to what her mother told her to do.
"It's difficult being so far from home," she admitted, "it helps that I brought some of home here with me." A portrait of her best friend, that is, and a few other things. But mostly Eunji.
