Simple. Rustic. Well-maintained and Trudy's lips twitch slightly as she notes all the pairs of golden eyes peering out from the windows and the door.
Speaking off the door, the first one out is a willowy adolescent girl, her face narrow and eyes sharp. Trudy notes the way she moves - oddly fluid and graceful, and entirely unlike the stride of a human or an Avatar - and the confidence in it.
Also, the knife at her hip. Yes, that gets noticed, too. Behind the first girl is a second - shorter, not as thin - and Trudy can't tell if she is younger or the same age.
"Graceaugustine," the first girl says. "I See you." The other girl nods, repeats the gesture, and both of them glance at Trudy.
"Fyape fko syaw ngar?" The first girl asks while the second glances at her, rolling her eyes slightly. Something in the expression screams 'sister' to Trudy.
"Oeru syaw Trudy Chacon." Beat. "Alameda'ite."
Well, hey. Formal is formal. And ranks would just get confusing, real fast.
