Rosa's eyes sort of glaze over. It's not that she isn't listening, it's more that .. it's all a lot to take in. Especially all at once, and especially so soon after she's arrived in the village. Maybe it shouldn't surprise her that there are people — creatures? — from other worlds here. Hell, she met that weird Terry-if-he-was-a-Minotaur thing, and for some reason, he was less strange than what Nida's saying now.
Maybe it's because with The Iron Bull, it's obvious that he isn't human, and that he isn't from Earth. But Nida looks .. like an average guy. He looks human. She wouldn't know him from the next guy in a lineup in terms of his genetic makeup and his humanity. That's what's freaking her the fuck out, listening to him talk about this far off nameless planet. It's like she bit into a Skittle, expecting it to be an M&M. She'll adjust, she'll figure it out, but holy fuck, give her a fucking second.
"Uh." That's all she can manage after he's finished explaining. "Huh." She's trying, Nida. She really is. "Advice I can give you is don't be obnoxious in group chats. Don't send like, twenty messages all in a row." She could use a bit of Boyle's idiosyncrasies right about now. "This is — just a lot of shit to take in. I mean. Dragons are pretty dope? If Jake were here, he'd freak the fuck out about that. Sarge, too, I think." After a few seconds, she relents with, "Earth sucks, anyway. It was a fucking mess the last I was there."
