Listening to Kailani explain why she ate the cutlury, Min-Ji was slightly confused. It seemed to her that the teen had eaten more than enough for her size. A bit more context was provided when it was mentioned she could eat anything. So perhaps there was some oddity that allowed such a thing. 

Whatever the case the woman casually listened while the "plan" was continued to be discussed. Glancing around she briefly noted the numerous guards surrounding the many inmates. Taking off restraints one at a time wasn't going to work and she couldn't... Oh, Kailani was talking to her again. 

[color=powderblue]"I would be most grateful if you did. Should you help release me then..."[/color] There was a brief pause. Her first though was to serve someone that would help her with something so critical, but things like that are what got her put in this place to begin with. It was also a habit she was trying to break. Though she didn't have much else to give at this point. Maybe once they were outside she could find something. No, no guarantee they would stumble across anything of real value. In a couple seconds Min-Ji's mind ran through several other scenarios until her thoughts circled back to what little they'd exchanged so far. It sounded like Kailani didn't really know that many people all that well or how they interacted, so perhaps... [color=powderblue]"I will be your best friend."[/color] That sounded like a decent start to the woman. 

Another pause, though this one was from the smaller of the two as Min-Ji's words registered with the ever distractable alien. It was even enough to divert her attention from the fact some of the others were talking about feeding her - okay, breaking their restraints, but it ended in food either way.

[color=gold]"Best... friend?"[/color] Kailani mulled over the words, comparing them with what she knew of English. Slowly however her rictus grin grew wider, showing her flat white teeth and crinkling the corners of her eyes. [color=gold]"I've never had a best friend before! Yeah, I'll definitely get you out then! Chomp through the door-"[/color] Her teeth clacked together in emphasis.

[color=gold]"And your bracelets, and then I can just carry you out and the pact will be complete!"[/color]

Most other people probably would have corrected the alien girl. Or at least clarified a bit better. Clearly though neither of them really understood what friendship was. One being too new to the concept and the other largely isolated from it. Min-Ji took more note of being carried out then the pact comment. [color=powderblue]"I can walk myself, thank you."[/color]

Kailani hummed thoughtfully, after a moment nodding. [color=gold]"Alright, as long as that's still enough for the bargain. You should still probably be behind me though - actually, unless you're bulletproof too. [i]Are[/i] you bulletproof?"[/color]

You never knew with humans. They were so mystifying.

Narrowing her eyes a bit the electrified woman cut a glance to the guards again. No one here had shot her, but a good many of them very well could. [color=powderblue]"I am not."[/color] She instinctively put a hand to her side where she'd been struck before. One didn't work under a big name in the underground without taking a few hits.

[color=gold]"That's alright, me neither! At least like this."[/color] Kailani's grin never wavered, and she raised a hand to point at the collar around her throat. [color=gold]"Once I get this off I can be bulletproof for the both of us! It's very inconvenient."[/color]

Noting the collar, Min-Ji nodded. Her own restraints limited her abilities as well, though maybe not quite as effective as Thornwood would like. Breaking out of her own bonds solo wasn't really an option. Until she heard of a more concrete plan though the woman would bide her time. For the most part she was treated decently. [color=powderblue]"You're a shifter?"[/color] She would ask, referring to the becoming bulletproof comment. 

[color=gold]"Isn't... Isn't it obvious?"[/color] Kailani glanced down, flexing her fingers slowly. Her thin, spindly fingers. However after a moment her eyes widened, glancing between their hands before she laughed. [color=gold]"Oh, oh no it wouldn't be! Because everyone here is - they're already human! No, I'm not human. I'm a - uh, I can't pronounce it with this tongue-"[/color] For emphasis she stuck her tongue out for a moment and made a face, crossing her eyes as though trying to look at it.

[color=gold]"But humans call it a Devourer. I'm much bigger when I'm me!"[/color]

Considering the information a moment, Min-Ji would poke Kailani's shoulder in complete disregard to personal space. The point of contact tingled slightly. [color=powderblue]"Hm, I see. You are much denser than you look. This form is to blend in?"[/color]

[color=gold]"Thanks, I am very dense!"[/color] The newly pronounced alien beamed, completely unbothered at being touched or the light tingle that came with it - it was much better than being shocked across the face. [color=gold]"And yeah, pretty much! Plus I guess you guys breathe oxygen so my [i]biology[/i] changed to exhale it. But your human powers are much cooler! You're like ... like when my collar shocks me but it doesn't hurt as much!"[/color]

[color=powderblue]"Most here are human."[/color] She would correct. There were a number of other beings housed away here, not that she really knew all that much about them. She would glance at the collar again. [color=powderblue]"Yes, it seems like a majority of the inmates can be kept in line with electric shock. I think they're hoping I remain compliant to prevent others from escaping."[/color] Min-Ji wasn't always the best at keeping her inner thought from coming out. Her attention would turn slowly to the conversation on the adjacent table. 

Seemed like one of them was working out a more detailed and logical addition to what Abby wanted. Being a bit more in touch with technology, and indeed the infrustructure of Thornwood itself, it made more sense to her. The thin man had an odd presence to him outside him being blind. Something about the EM field around him was markedly off. And now he was requesting her help for something. [color=powderblue]"I would need to hear more of this plan first. What can you do exactly?"[/color] She herself had her own idea in her head to approach trying to escape, but it required some specific skills to make it happen. There had been one other that had attempted something similar. At the time though Min-Ji worked with Thornwood to power the block and thwart the escape. The move gave her a much better understanding of the layout and the kind of equipment they were running. So far she hadn't seen or heard anything to suggest to her that anyone here could bring down some of the main power and force a connection to her cell.

With the attention turning back to the plan, Kailani's ever distractable mind switched too to focus once more on the man addressing her - only to be derailed at Iris' offering of spoon and the shattered pieces of bowl. With the fervor of a starving man she snatched the tray from the other woman, teeth showing through the muzzle in a flashed grin and barely released 'thanks' before utterly devouring the gift. It was only when not even a sliver of the wooden bowl's pieces were left that the alien turned to Körbl, flinching as his words of being shocked penetrated her thoughts.

[color=gold]"Well, I guess if it'll get this off... but if you can get my collar off, I can get [i]your[/i]restraints off, guaranteed! Though, I think I prefer their plan if it involves less shocking..."[/color]
