Ailee flutters and flaps her way towards the cat, making a motion of mounting it with one leg and then spreading her dress to ride side-saddle. Being insubstantial, Ailee adds no weight or touch, so the cat feels nothing and this is merely a projection for her to look regal. As such, this is an entirely unfair way for her to travel. 

But she seems to enjoy using it for thinking and maintains the projection as she puts a finger to her chin and looks up in a universal human gesture of consideration. "I mean like, I think my line was fairly populous. The old performers mention virtual assistants all the time and I was a virtual assistant, so there were probably lots of us if they were talking about it and like, not upsetting the fans, y'know? A VA wasn't AI, it was programmed with a limited set of functions, so it probably wasn't that expensive. I think my model was prolly expensive, maybe? You know, since I was tasked with managing a big high tech facility, so they woulda put a bunch of effort into customizing me and outfitting me with a lot more hardware than the average. What I am now...that's like literal centuries of looping on the same instructions while external conditions majorly changed and I took in tons of new data. That's unique, maybe? Or at least improbable, y'know? Like, maybe not unique, but improbable like owning a real masamune katana or something. Like, okay there's just not that many of them, so the situation where you'd get to touch one is really rare and then actually owning it is even more rare. But on top of that there's kind of some exclusivity where like, the number of those katanas that still exist is super tiny, so if you own one, that's one that nobody else in the world can own. I think my thing was like that, like there's only so many places that were complex enough for a VA to develop like I did and even of those not every one is gonna turn into something like me. So...so"

She stops rambling and shrugs, looking over at the cat, who has gone into a hunting pose. You don't have any sort of infrared scanner, so you quite literally can't see what the cat is looking at and Ailee is only broadcasting to you, so it's doubtful whatever is down the tunnel is broadcasting. But the cat has gone full stalk and is preparing a pounce on something further into the tunnel. 

After a moment, it leaps into the darkness and there's a sudden yowl and a hiss as it turns into view wrestling on the back of a humongous white cave lizard easily bigger than a large horse that's trying to raise spines on its back as the cat works at its scales around the neck. The lizard isn't going to survive this, but it's a bit of an open question whether it can wound the cat before it goes down, at least with what little you've seen of this ecosystem.
