Yeah, well. I don't have as much practice as some figuring out how to get my feet to listen to me in less the optimal lighting evening without alcohol in my system. Just goes to prove, high IQ does not equal common sense.
[she doesn't say it like bragging. She knows she's a genius, of course, but her skillset is limited, and not nearly as much as her life experience. Even her time in Eudio didn't give her much practice with being drunk in the dark.
She tips her head a bit at his explanation, taking a hesitant step towards the panel] What? That's...well, I'd say ridiculous, except I've seen more unbelievable things even before all this. [she needs to make a list of 'impossible' things she's lived through and rank them, at some point.
The fingers of both hands curl in for a long moment as she considers. Then she draws a breath; she'd promised in Eudio that she wasn't going to back away from new experiences, and she's going to try to hold to it here. She steps forward as quickly as she trusts her clumsy feet to move, then puts an only faintly trembling hand to the panel.
At first, she only squints at the glowing display, then as she picks out names and follows where they are on the line, a soft breath leaves her lungs] Oh. [that's all she can manage for a moment, as a shaky hand moves up to the display, zooming in on Nick's name and further back--but not far enough, not really--the word 'accident', before she yanks both hands back so the glowing words and lines disappear.
She does manage to smile when she turns back to Jim] Uh, yeah, I'd say your theory on what that is is right. ...wow. That's...really something. But I guess considering what we've been told about everything going on here, it's not terribly surprising something like this exists.
