That Kato didn't immediately translate for her was a bit of an annoyance, one the woman would later be complaining to him about. It was hard enough that she didn't speak the language, even harder that Kato seemed unwilling to help her out in that aspect. She squeezed his arm as he spoke in the foreign language, the tone implying that he was scolding the children. She raised a brow at him as they scattered, giggling as they ran off. "Kato?" She inquired, looking up at him. "Babe?" She frowned a little at the half-assed explanation, half tempted to tell him off for it. But there were children nearby, and even she wouldn't yell in front of the kids. The explanation was foreign to her, one that took several seconds to register before she gaped at him. "Oh, you mean they've never seen a white woman before." She said with a small tease, squeezing his hand in the brief moment she had his attention before he was talking to the children again, asking of things that she was confused about again.

Still, she didn't hesitate as Kato pulled her forward, her fingers moving to lace with his as they walked toward the huts after the children. Despite the fact that her heart felt like it was about to beat out of her chest and the anxiety seemed to be pressing her down, she returned his smile, leaning to kiss his cheek. "I know it is," She assured him. "I'm with you." She kept herself close to Kato as they went towards the huts, watching the people literally pour out of the huts as the children yelled. The outpour of bodies caused Edie to press closer to the man at her side, giving a small smile to the crowd that seemed to be focused on him. Once again, she was forced to let go of Kato as a man stepped forward to embrace him, though this time she couldn't help but smile at the happy way that Kato looked.

She was grateful then, that Kato insisted on English, an appreciative 'thank you' uttered from her lips to Kato. She took a glance at the man that had clasped onto Kato. Even without the introduction, the family resemblance was striking, as was the way the two embraced each other. Edie knew that look, had seen it in siblings before, even if she had none of her own. Still, she was grateful for the introduction, and especially grateful for the one person who had seemed to notice her and take an interest in making her feel at home. She let him take her hand, happily nodding to his words. "I can't imagine. I can barely go two days without seeing him." She flashed a smile over to her boyfriend before nodding again at the man in front of her. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Raziva."

Edie rejoined Kato's side, taking his hand once more as she moved to follow him. Yes, her stomach was growling, the vegetarian diet she'd been on hardly enough to keep her satisfied. "Chapatti?" She asked eagerly to her boyfriend, excited to see something that might be hot and not... well, dried. The cooking pit only seemed to help her with that notion, and she happily sat down on the tree truck that Kato motioned for her to sit at. She took the food eagerly, taking a bite when everyone else did and feeling a bit of disappointment at the contents. It was delicious, yes, but no meat, nothing to satisfy her carnivorous appetite. Still, she continued to eat her portion, grateful for something in her stomach, and tried to smile at everyone who acknowledged Kato, though none of them really seemed to notice her. It was his whispered apology that brought her attention back to him, shaking her head. "It's fine," She promised him, squeezing his arm as she moved to lean her head on his shoulder.

She pressed herself close to him, listening for the familiar sound of his heartbeat to reassure herself before she turned to him, her voice a soft whisper. "Will they let us sleep together?" She asked innocently, genuinely wondering if they would be split for sleeping arrangements. She cared little about having his hands on her with these huts, but the idea of not sleeping near him caused her heart to race. The girl wasn't sure what she had been expecting by coming here, but she was quickly finding herself overwhelmed by the whole experience. This was harder than he expected, the girl trying her best to impress them. Impressing them took effort, rather than mouthing off to everyone like she normally did. "Please don't leave me."
