"I've never heard of Ether before," Nora commented. "What's that?"
The sprite eyed what it thought was the entrance to the house, seemingly wanting inside. It gave a rather adorable, squeaky howl.

Paul was too distracted to pay much attention to Shulk and Nora's conversation at this point, as it seemed like the little creature wanted inside. He spared only a quick glance at the two, then stealthily unlocked the window and pushed it open just enough for him to poke his head through. He smiled again at the sprite, speaking in a soft, sweet tone. "Hi there."

Shulk didn't pay Paul or the sprite much mind, grinning a bit at Nora. "Well... back in my... my world, I suppose I'd say, Ether was sort of the 'blood' of all things. It's the energy that made everything up. I suppose some folks would call it like 'magic' from what I've heard since coming here."

"Some people would call that mana," Nora offered. "The energy of the world, which all living things posess~"
The tiny creature hopped up at the window, staring at him. "....Hi," came a scratchy, odd sounding voice. Nora couldn't help but cock her head at the sound.

Paul was not deterred, his grin consistently pleasant as he rested his chin on his hand and gazed down at the sprite with yellow puppy dog eyes. "You're a curious one, aren't you? Well, it's nice to meet you. My name's Paul."

"Hmm... seems like a few different names for the same thing. Curious..." Shulk nodded, smiling a bit before turning head towards the sprite as it spoke. "...Hmm?"

"....name?" it repeated. The being seemed unfamiliar with the concept.
Nora, however, seemed interested in the small thing, getting close. "You are definately not something I'd see back home!" she cheered, the little thing hiding her face in her hair.

Paul tilted his head at the sprite's repetition of the word "name." Does she not have one...?
He jumped slightly when Nora moved closer, which anyone could see was making the sprite uncomfortable. "Hey, hey, it's alright..." He gently insisted to the sprite, simultaneously motioning for Nora to give her some space. "We won't hurt you..."

"He's right. We won't hurt you. ...What are you exactly?"
He'd never seen anything like this little creature after all. He couldn't help but be curious.

"...Sprite," she muttered. "...living magic."
"You're made of magic?" Nora asked, receiving a quick nod from the little creature. "Magic... I guess the closest thing to that on my world is probably Dust... So, you're magic, but also living?"
Another pause from the chilly creature. "...Ice," she uttered. "Cold, hunter. Predator."
"OH! You're a survivalist in a cold place, and you also use ice powers!" Nora cheered, the small thing giving squeaks as it nodded.

"Interesting." Paul pulled up a chair with his tail and took a seat, rubbing his chin and smiling with fascination. "I don't believe I've ever met a sprite before. That said, it's very nice to meet you, little lady. You're quite a ways away from your natural environment, aren't you?"

Shulk had seen creatures that were basically living Ether, but nothing quite as animated as this sprite. He didn't get closer... but his eyes were very intently focused on her, looking her over. "Huh... how strange..."

She snuggled into her hair-woven shall, looking at the group as mist escaped her mouth. "So she's never been in a friendly environment before today," Nora noted. "Poor thing must've thought we'd attack her on sight."

"Yeah..." Paul mused, keeping his warm gaze on the sprite. "Well, don't you worry. No one here's gonna hurt you."
Truth be told, he wasn't entirely certain that was true. Even if he didn't look at Metal, the robot was still in the back of his mind.

Shulk nodded, relaxed; still no visions meant they weren't likely in any danger. The Home smiled a bit. "He's right. Come in, make yourself at home."
He glanced at the shut down robot, thinking a moment. He'd have to look deeper at his circuitry sometime...
