Cora was somewhat embarrassed when Mimi asked what she was doing when she was gesturing. She snapped out of her daze when Xuan touched her arm and she looked at him as he spoke and pointed to, what was apparently his name, tattooed on his chest, and saw how different it was from the writing style she was familiar with. She paid attention as he told her how they spoke, and she blushed with embarrassment when he chuckled. She sighed through her nose before deciding to try his way. She followed his directions, unsure of whether it'll work or not. She wanted to use the mike test dialogue, but decided against it. Her words soon were projected, at first as a whisper, but later increasing in volume to normal speaking volume "Like this? Can you really hear me like this?"
Luna raised her eyebrows as she laughed "And our guest finally speaks! So, you really aren't brain dead," That earned Luna a glare from Cora. Luna then asked "So, care to tell us your name?" 
Cora answered "My name is Cora. That's what I was trying to say with my gestures earlier," 

Soon Shine was ushering the…merchildren to bed, and Xuan and Luna were warned to not stay up too late. Luna groaned and rolled her eyes saying "We won't, Father," After he was gone, she grumbled "I don't see why we have to help that old lady anyways," 
Cora was a little annoyed at Luna's comment and she asked "What's wrong with helping someone?"
Luna rolled her eyes and answered "Pieth's a little crazy. She's always having delusions, and she's always trying to convince everyone that humans exist. Hah! Can you believe that? Humans! Existing? Bah!"
Cora was dumbfounded and amused at the same time. She was human, and here was a mermaid telling her that humans didn't exist. Which was very ironic.

Cora redirected the subject and asked Xuan "An-Anyways, what did Mr. Roe mean when he said you found me in the Midnight? I highly doubt he meant the time midnight," 
Luna looked a little irritated that Cora was ignoring her comment and was changing subjects with Xuan.
