Okay. Now she had a problem. Birdy had been ready to explain what she'd been doing there. Which would have lead to what had happened to his room, which would have lead to how she had wound up in his room. It had been like a chain reaction almost, which is why it would have been perfect if he had asked about that.
Instead he asked : "Who are you?"
Which is where she drew a blank.
Birdy supposed she could introduce herself and leave it at that. Only she knew it wouldn't work, 'cuz Tenchi's inquiry pretty much encompassed "what's with the hair and why're you dressed like that?" too. And... well... she wasn't sure if she should answer that. For starters, how was she supposed to explain to these people that she wasn't even human? That she was an Intergalactic Space Federation Officer, or that she had super human strength, lept tall buildings and such? Let alone, try to tell them about Tsutomu. They'd either think she was lying or have her committed. And neither one of those sounded too good.
Tenchi, meanwhile, had his arms folded in expectancy. Ayeka and the others simply wondered when the strange girl was finally going to open her mouth and say something. Ryoko turned toward him, hand on her hip, the other pointing at Birdy.
"Is she gonna say something, or just sit there all day with that goofy grin?" she asked him. "Good question." Tenchi mumbled in agreement. Birdy lept to her feet and snapped her fingers. "Ah ha!" she said. "Well it's about time. So, you gonna give us your name or not?" he asked her.
"Birdy." she replied simply.
Tenchi waited for her to continue, but when it became clear that that was all she had to say he turned to the others. Then smiling and gesturing wildly, "Oh, well that explains everything! Hey everybody, it's Birdy! Doesn't it all make sense now? Well, now that that's settled, how 'bout some breakfast?"
At the end of his "acceptence" routine, he folded his arms again and made a face. "Like I'm gonna buy that."
"You would if you knew who she was." they all heard Washuu say. All eyes in the room fell on the pint sized genius. Ayeka blinked in surprise. "Ms. Washuu, do you mean you know this person?" she asked her. Birdy was a little hurt. "This person?"
"Do you know her Washuu?" Tenchi wondered. Washuu smirked :
