Both of these men spoke the language well enough that they had to be visitors from the floating continent. If he was any more observant than Yylfordt, which wasn't hard, he'd notice her eyes, and he had noticed. She'd seen it. She had to resist reaching for a pendant. She curled her fingers on the table to stop herself.
"Same," she said, giving a nod. "I'm Apache."
Apache, not Emilou. It never was, but it definitely wasn't right now. She never gave her surname either, going by her middle name. That was definitely the safer course right now. Her name could attract unwanted attention.
He wasn't bad looking, all things considered. More Nel's type than her own, but he had that Athlum look that made him look half an Al Bhed. His eyes were green, too. The other guy gave her a smile, one rather more charming than Ignis managed, but the fact that just being near him made Cierva squirm sort of put her off a little. She knew the rumours of what the Noah could do, if he was one, and if that was the case, it gave Cierva an excuse to be antsy.
"So where're you two from?" She asked.
When it eventually came out that she was from the same place as them it wouldn't be a weird way to have asked the question. If they said Jylland, or Eos, as the Nifs were currently trying to push, that'd be the dumb for-the-lowerworlder answer. If they were more detailed... well, she didn't know them personally. It would be no different to Nel asking where another Lowerworlder was from.
