Convinced she had made a neutral, low key impression even with her input on the route, Phi found herself blindsided by Navi. It was one thing to have an embarrassing moment noticed, but Navi in particular was pure hearted and tended to lack filters. Phi could have made like it didn't affect her, she was a very convincing performer, but surrounded by allies that level of guard hadn't been raised. Thus she tried and failed to prevent her face turning bright red, her body and expression frozen in that moment. The thought of the doctor and little Navi side by side in pajamas and cute slippers was too much for her unprepared mind. She wanted to see that and now everyone else could probably guess at this embarrassing secret as well. As if that wasn't enough, the headpats of the ridiculously tall Tarak only compounded that embarrassment. Phi knew he meant well but at the same time she could almost hear her credibility as a competent crew member shatter. 

All she could do was nod in acknowledgement to Navi, for she was absolutely correct, and then hope Abaddon's lemon squares took center stage. If she stayed quiet for a while, with so many eccentric characters in one place, hopefully their elders would forget about Phi's flop of an introduction. What else could go wrong anyway? Apparently Finn had an answer for that, by turning into a cat unexpectedly. She had to both stop herself from staring, and resign herself to the image the crew must have of her now.

[I]What even is it about animals that makes me want to hold them? I know that's still Finn but now I can't help but want to pet him. A boy who I still barely know, technically. Not creepy at all.[/i]

Noticing the latest crew member show up clearly drunk out of his mind, Phi receeded towards the nearest wall knowing full well a certain someone would be having a talking to soon. In order to detach from the conversation and make herself feel a bit useful, Phi began poring through the public information on the longer route. Stops along the way, usual escorts, companies favoring this route, and recent events all along the way. Before hunting down private information this should give some clues to Ariel's question. Phi sent the data as she found it, saving the other girl some tactical footwork.

[I]Hm. I wonder what kind of animal Ariel would be like. For that matter.. ooooh, I just had the most wonderful idea![/i] 

Phi's face lit up before immediately catching herself, and her eyes couldn't help but flick towards Avelyn. Hastily she raised her mental barriers before she embarrassed herself in the extreme before the mind reader's powers.
