And I'm still uncertain how you knew I'd been born an insect myself from first sight of me."

She turned to him, mostly succeeding in keeping a straight face despite her amusement, her smile mostly only hinting in her eyes. "What would you have guessed I am, had you met me without foreknowledge or introduction, pray tell?" She lifted her hands up a bit and apart, in what wasn't quite a gesture of exasperation or surrender, or perhaps simply holding her sleeves aside so he could see her properly... a mix of all of the above, maybe?
