"Oh... Ummmm I can try to explain the ones that I am guessing are the most confusing?" Ren replied folding one of her ears down slightly, while she had been prepared to run into communication issues, some how half understanding things was the bit that caught her off gaurd here... But she was very much going to try. "So like, clans are a family of family's? Your people have family's right? Its a big group that all lives together and works together so we can split up the effort and make all our life's easier... Miko is like my job in that, I ummm..." She pauses to think, not really sure how to put this, but well... She is going to have to put it some way she takes a breath and just goes for it.

"I communicate with the spirits~ From the small sprits like alpha there, to the biiiiiig spirits like the ones that made us and our homes... Though... The little ones tend to be slightly better at responding", while her understanding of how things worked was... Not truely accurate to the cosmology, she seemed to be reflecting how her people saw things.

While she was talking, she didn't really devote all her focus though, as nice as it was to finally meet some one she was going to do her job as well, which consisted of having her companion(s) gather around her, and she began to detach an empty tank from the back of one of them.

"All the traveling just to see new things though? Don't get me wrong here, its not that I don't understand wanderlust, but... Ummmm why expose yourself to the dangers if not to help others in the process?", she queries... Quickly folding both ears after she does so, "I do not mean this as an offense by the way, I am just trying to understand others besides ourselves she then clarifies."

She nodded, paying rapt attention to the new things that the stranger, Ren, was explaining to her. Clans were another word for family... She knew what those were. That was what she had with her mom, and all of her sisters back home! She didn't need the explanation as to what a family was, of course, but she appreciated the way that the mortal explained it to her. She had always enjoyed hearing different perspectives on the same universal truth, because it offered so many ways to look at things! Ren's explanation seemed rather standard, though she did note the rather practical way in which the purpose of the family was explained. She could appreciate practical, given everything that she was.

"Spirits..." She echoed, sounding interested. From what she could understand, the bigger spirits were almost certainly the gods. They were the only ones capable of creating life, reproduction excluded, and she certainly doubted that this woman considered her parents to be spirits. As such, the divine host were the only ones who could possibly be behind the greater spirits that the woman was mentioning, though the topic of lesser spirits existing did make her want to learn more. Oh, what kind of beings would *Those* Be? Would that mean demigods like herself, or powerful titans that even the gods struggled to create?

But of course, the conversation eventually circled back to her, which she understood. She was the unknown to this woman, after all, just as this woman was the unknown to her. It only stood to reason that she'd want to ask questions about the Strawberry Maiden. Fortunately, she was happy to give her answers. "Well, my mom created me to be a guardian!" She said cheerfully. "So I've gotta learn about other realms and how other beings are, so I know who to let in to my mom's realm and who to, you know." She made a finger gun and pointed into the void below. A massive beam erupted from her fingertips, so large it was blinding, and then it faded. "Do that to."

"Yea~ Spirits? You know the kind of beings that you cant really like... Touch?" She wasn't sure how to explain this all that well, as much as she knew the rituals she hasn't really been asked what one _was_ as far as she knew that was like asking what an animal was, "I mean... I guess sometimes you can touch them but its only when they decide they want to inhabit a physical form, ummm... Sorry not really sure how to explain it except there... Different? They can exist without a body? In multiple places at once... Ummm, kind of something that is more on the end of things you have to see" ,she made her best attempt too explain... Before listening carefully to Fragarie's response in turn... 

Or well, listening to most of it, she was a bit too caught off guard by the beam, recoiling backwards and dropping the canister she was handling in the process.

"Wha... What was that? Ummm... I... I guess you don't have to answer if you don't want too but I have never seen something like that before... Not that I have really seen that much of any thing outside of my homeland before but that...", she shook her head... Now feeling rather... Well... Small. "Sorry."

It was certainly interesting. The ability to take several bodies with a single soul sounded a lot like the gods, but the rest of it was foreign to her. The Strawberry Maiden sent Alpha another curious gaze, the kind of a scientist examining the results of an experiment. The idea that another kind of being could do that other than the gods... She would have thought having multiple bodies like that constantly would be too much for a mortal mind to really comprehend. She supposed that she had been wrong about that, though it was a pleasant kind of being wrong, like discovering that one had miscounted and that they had more cookies than they had initially thought. 

As the canister slipped from Ren's arms, though, Fragarie moved so fast that she was a blur, catching it just a few centimetres below the point where it had been dropped. She proceeded to promptly offer it back to the adventurer, a friendly smile on her face. "It's just something I can do. Like I said, my mom made me to be a guardian. Part of that needs the power to fend off hostile intruders, so mom saw fit to grant me that power." She spoke in a matter of fact way, like it should be the obvious kind of thing that everyone should get. It was like that to her, after all, since despite her cheerful and friendly persona, she was still as dedicted to her purpose as her mother to hers. 

"If it makes you feel better, that was just flashy." She said, shaking her head. It had been meant to show off what she was supposed to do to dangerous outsiders, after all, not actually do to the nearby mortals what she was supposed to do to nasty intruders. She might be a little irresponsible at times, but even so she was plenty responsible enough to be careful not to vaporise her converastion partners. That kind of move typically tended to *End* Conversations which was, like, the opposite of what she wanted right now. "Don't worry! I'm friendly!" She tried to reassure the adventurer, though clearly she wasn't very good at it.
