"I can imagine," Susan replied and politely ignored his curious expression. "I'm glad I've never had to worry about something like that, even if the idea of unassisted flight is somewhat tempting."
Generally, Susan wasn't one to just provide personal information. Truth be told, she generally loathed discussing any aspect of herself that might label her abnormal...but she had never had to discuss it with anyone non-human. Everyone non-human on the Disc already knew who she was, and anyone who didn't generally figured it out very quickly, she was the opposite of a mystery. Non-humans, oddly enough, had always been a strange exception to the rule, she never minded talking about anything with them. Whether this was because they couldn't judge her as anything less than Normal or because she quietly considered them as such, it was impossible to say, but they were a definite loophole in her reluctance.
"If you're wondering: Yes, I am alive," Susan assured him, finally. "Not undead, or displaced, or anything of that sort and, as I said, mostly human. I'm just...partly...not."
That last word was like pulling teeth and Susan took a deep breath after she was out with it. Admittedly, awkward as it was, it was mildly pleasant to have someone non-human who knew. She was used to dealing with any number of mythical people who knew and, despite herself, their absence was something of a burden.
"Mostly the whole thing just results in awkward holiday dinners and a truly tacky family crest, really, when you get down to the bare bones." She paused and then idly motioned to him. "That and I can see, well, everything. It's really less appealing than it sounds."
