Okay, good. [The bluntness Pepper can take in stride, at least for the moment. New Feathers have a lot to work through when they first arrive, and a little hostility isn't unusual. She's already doing better than some by not trying to wreck anything or rip off her wings.]

Well, I know it means you're pretty far from the village. [And Pepper is less familiar with the beach, so she's not entirely sure how to guide the woman.] Just what have you heard about the place you're in so far? Not the beach specifically--this world.
