Aal's ears perk up, and tilts her head as she scents the air subtlely. Was that? Some sea-related being or? She glances about for the source. Curious though slightly cautious she eases visibly a the sight of a young woman. Her face softens.

"Oh..ello do you need some..assit-?" She pads over and begins to ask, before listening raptly. "Ah.." She tilts her head a wee bit at the new word. "Um, that's correct miss?" She half confirms half prompts warmly in a friendly tone.

"Ah, well that's a mite complicated. Depends on what needs doing really. " Se starts to try and explain. She brightens a bit at the last. "Now there's something I know a bit more about..This is the Nexus Realm between worlds..sort of like a hub in a multiversal train or bus station." She murmurs trying to hopefully give some familiar context to an unfamiliar situation.

She then smiles sheepishly but warm, "Oh pardon, " She murmurs offering her gloved hand. "I'm Ashlynn, Mrs. Ashlynn Aalish SinClair, but most folks call me Ash." She introduced herself.

Taylor glanced over to her giving a small grin to let the stranger know that she wasn't a threat, at least she hoped so...

"So, no big boss? In a way, that's kinda comfortin'." She was trying to reign in her accent, though if she slipped back sorry. "And now, I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed that I didn't end up somehow on Mu. I mean, would have been cool to find the lost continent in the Pacific Ocean." She shrugged it off.

At the offered hand Taylor shook it. "I'm Taylor, Tay or Minnow are fine too. Nice to meet you Ash."

Aal smiles softly and warmly back.

"Ah, not like ya know officially least in these parts..There are plenty of folks I would..ahem just give ya know proper mannerly respect to cause there are some high-ranked and powerful folks who come through or plant themselves in certain areas. But most are usually pretty friendly on the whole." She gently informs and warns her. Not wanting her to get on anyone's bad side accidentally.

She then adds, "And also like the Wilds are called such for a reason." Thinking about what other information would be good for her to have a heads up on. Regardless if she'd seen Cap's PSA or mayhaps not any of the literature yet. She glances about to see if she can spot any.

She smiles warmly and slightly shrugs nonchalantly and friendly, when she gets slightly emotional or homesick her own lit comes out from time to time. Though it's likely to sound more Irish or Welsh to some.

She blinks and tilts her head slightly to the right again, "Oh? that's an interesting name." She did enjoy learning about new places and peoples and such. Or least new to herself. Her eyebrows go up, Pacific, interesting. very interesting. "Ahem so..is that more the Poleniesian area or..am I a bit off?" She asks trying not to offend. Just trying to place things near things she had some sort of reference point of.

Probably not looking for someplace like Atlantis? Right wrong Terrain unless there were some new facts/other theories. Or The Mysterious Island.

She grins warmly, "Ooh, lovely name..erm names." She murmurs pleasantly surprised, "And likewise, dear." She murmurs with a happy squint as she gently shakes back. Almost canine-like. Her left ear wiggles a bit happily.

"I see. So, just play by ear until I figure out the hierarchy. Seems like my normal."

Taylor caught it, but thought it was some sort of cartoon PSA, after all, her world, he's a comic book character, one that her 'uncle' used to give her when he stopped by for a visit. She preferred the ones with a little more adventure than action honestly.

"Which? Mu? It's a legend, though I'm not sure if it really exists, I just like not having to be around the guy that raised me."

It's close, though Taylor is only on the search because her guardian wants her to be on it. Something about wanting an artifact for his order. She's still debating if she wants to screw him over honestly.

"It's because I'm usually one of the smallest out on the waves." She grinned.

She softly nods, "Well, there are a few folks I know off the bat myself..Though there are ah let's say folks who look near-identical but aren't so internally." She tries her best to explain with a slight diplomatic tilt to her head. Sometimes the place could get right busy and bustling.

She chuckles softly but warm, "Well, least that's one less thing for ya to get used to." She murmurs conversationally. Though there were sometimes even things that could throw even the most seasoned of folks for a loop.

"Ah, aye." She murmurs looks thoughtful and then nods. Trying her hardest not to the chant or try the word for herself a few times. "Oh? so ..kinda like Altantis..or more point of origin or something?" She asks curiously and conversationally. "Many legends have some grain of truth in them I find." Especially in a place like this or back in her own Homerealm.

"Ah." She murmurs a wee bit a look and tone of understanding moving across her face. "Space to grow and such can be beneficial sometimes, yes." She murmurs or to recharge.

She chuckles good-naturedly and gives her a slightly lopsided toothy smile. "And you swim like a fish ?" She half asks half states, "My husband's a bit of a water bug himself." She murmurs fondly and lovingly.

"Doppelgangers?" She knew that was possible, after all there were only so many different faces and bodies out there, doubles were expected.

"From what we can figure was like Atlantis, less technological. More of an agricultural society, but other than a few vague scribbles in ancient texts and sketches from sea faring people that are mostly water damaged, it's a shot in the dark if the place actually exists or not."

"Was born in the water so it's part of me. Much to the dismay of my found family at times." She beamed brightly.
