"Yep!" Umeko confirmed cheerfully, head pivoting to regard the newcomer brightly. Poofy blue hair, wide build, and friendly expression. Not someone she remembered seeing around before, but not someone she was likely to miss in the future. Hair like that, she'd be visible from orbit. The student of Shade shifted a little so she could keep both her less-than-talkative teammate and the newcomer in sight, folding up her sunglasses in her left hand so she could see colors a little more accurately. Echo's hair, as it turned out, was even brighter without the shades. "Gonna take a wild guess and say you are, too. You look real strong!"

"Where you from? Not Shade, we'd know if you were. Not getting a Mistral vibe. Atlas? You look like someone they'd want to recruit." She leaned a little further over the bench, supporting herself by resting her crossed arms on the back of it, and regarded her (she guessed) fellow countrywoman with a bright grin. "Don't mind Tear, here, she's never very talkative."

"And apparently doesn't quite get the wonders of merchandise, either. You have any idea the kind of cash I could make offering to model my own merch for Vale Style Co.? Or Atlesian Accessories?"
