Talk Nerdy To Her.

Genuinely- half of the shit she can’t hope to understand, but she loves hearing people talk passionately about what they care about or what they’re proficient in. She really values someone with drive and inspiration!

How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

The other method she has of getting to sleep is being around other people- in general she finds it a lot easier to relax and drift off when she’s in the company of others she trusts. Noise doesn’t bother her when she sleeps, and if anything the sound of people talking is really helpful to soothe her. Those newfangled talking orchestrion rolls with a person reading a book on them is for instance a good substitute for that background noise, but she’ll always sleep better if she’s got her head on someone’s shoulder or lap.

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

Rex thinks she’s an idiot, unfortunately, having been told as much for the most of her life, but considering the skillsets she’s applied herself to successfully she’s not as daft as she assumes she is- and part of that is down to the fact that she asks questions about pretty much everything. She likes to pick things apart, too- she does better with physical models and diagrams than she does with just having something verbally explained or written out for her- but something she can actually take apart and put back together again will fix things more firmly in her mind. One of the ways she learned to cast a spell was by doing it impulsively in the heat of the moment because she felt it rather than try to think it. When it comes to people, though? And social things? She very much fakes it until she makes it, tries to copy and emulate the people in the area to get an idea for the social norms and pretends to know what she’s on about- and then once she’s found someone she can confide in will start expressing her insecurity and asking the questions she needs to ask to learn the social language of a place.
