Mabel gets a second glance from Ilde's big near-black eyes, though, on the subject of being their Hellsing rep; interesting. She's probably slightly more surprised than Lex is about his being there, admittedly, but Max is good to see and the others...are presumably here for the reason of 'magic', judging by their explanations.

"I'm half-deaf above water," she says, matter of fact, from where she's standing slightly to the side of Sonja. "If I can't see your face, I probably can't hear you. Grab me if you need to." Not that that's her preferred method of communication, but given the circumstances - she'll avoid stabbing anyone in the knee on reflex for doing it. (...yes.)

It's better to get that clear before they go into the fog, and it also gives her something to say that isn't repeating 'superheroes' in polite disbelief.

"Otherwise, I'm a naiad, illusions are my better skill, and I have a large knife." Good enough? Good enough.
