tl;dr - Britain is hard to describe since our culture is 'tea, brexit, save the NHS'

Given that she's only just met Harrow, Grace doesn't let herself show just how good it feels to be in comfortable shoes again. Her feet ached most of the time anyway, and these boots were their salvation after a nine or ten hour day.

It's around now that she's realising she probably should have pulled her jeans back on first, but whatever. It's not cold, and she's used to wandering around in tights anyway. She smirks over at him when his own boots catch her eye, before she clarifies what she means.

"It's an underground train system; there are loads of stations it goes to with different trains running in different areas. The map is kind of notorious for being difficult to navigate, at first anyway"

She smiles at what he says about Nexus, about it maybe being a little magical. It's oddly comforting, even if it's only being used figuratively.

As for describing England in general...she exhales as she straightens up, hands folding in her lap.

"Telling you about Earth might take a while, but England and London I can do. London's the capital city, which means lots of tourist attractions, lots of cool things to see, amazing architecture...there's something there for everyone. And there's all sorts of people living there as well. It's completely different from where I was born, even though they're not that far away from each other.

As for England, it's not really that big, but there's a lot of different places with totally different accents and ways of doing things. It's difficult to say what's important about being English though...our history isn't that great as far as other countries are concerned."

But that's a whole other kettle of fish.

"We have had a lot of Kings and Queens though - that's pretty interesting. And we do love tea. A lot. We didn't invent it or anything, but we're very good at acting like it."
