Starfire blushed, an incredible deep red. She had no idea what to say. In fact, she wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying! She decided to give it a try anyway and rose to her feet as gracefully as she could with a scraped knee.
"I am Starfire, from the planet Tamaran. Can you help me?" As she had suspected, they didn't understand. Then the handsome one with the mask spoke in a garbled language to the other. She responded in an angry voice, but her companion was firm. She came over to Starfire and reached out a hand. Starfire closed her eyes as the woman touched her forehead. A sudden torrent of thoughts and knowledge flooded her mind.
She opened her eyes to find herself on the ground with a headache such as she had never experienced before.
"My head feels like a stelke of globwarg snarkwots are rampaging through it." she complained and stood up again.
"It's a side effect. What's a stelk of globwrom snarkot?" The purple haired lady asked.
"Stelke of globwarg snarkwots. They are…" she floundered for an explanation. Unexpectedly, her head swam and she found herself grabbing for support. The closest thing was the masked one's arm. She clung on grimly as her balance failed to hold her up. Something happened; it seemed as if something had been pulled from her mind and put elsewhere. He blinked and was no longer the stable rock of support he had been.
"What is it?"
"She gave me information, I think. Like you did. But I thought only you could do it?"
"It may be left over from the actual spell. What did she give you?"
"I know her name, where she is from, and her life story. It's in a big jumble, though."
"Probably because she's never done it before. Tell me." During this, Starfire had let go and sat down with a thump to listen and correct.
"Her name is Koriand'r. She's from the planet Tamaran. She's of the royal line and was going to be queen. Her sister, who had been in jail, was released and told everyone that Koriand'r had done the crime to get her sister in trouble, so she could get the throne. She got kicked off the planet and exiled for being a traitor to the crown. Impressive life story."
Starfire felt this was the time to give corrections. "In your language, my name is Starfire. Everything else is correct. What are your names, please?"
"I'm Robin, and this is Raven."
"What planet is this?"
"Earth. Anything else?"
"Would you help me? I know the language now, but I have nothing to barter or buy with; at least, nothing that you would find valuable."
Raven started to object, but Robin stopped her. "She's new to the planet. Why not? I mean, not much harm could come from this. From what I've seen, she's very shy and wouldn't be able to take care of herself."
"Fine." She pulled her hood back up so it was impossible to see the glare she directed at him. Starfire smiled happily and they set off to tell her about this world.
Raven was not pleased.
