All it takes for Hana's attention to leave Sasha (no offense; you're just not that tentacular) is for someone else to approach the mothlings and have the exact same reaction she had. She's almost immediately back on her knees with the mothlings, grinning more widely than she has since - well, a very long while. "Aren't they amazing?" she says, glancing at Eddox. She's unfortunately out of shrimp but gives a delighted gasp at how they mimic Eddox's voice.
"You are all so clever. And I was so rude and didn't introduce myself, I'm Miss Hana." The 'miss' just comes out and there's a beat where she remembers she's supposed to hurt, badly, at that memory, but she refocuses on Eddox and the mothlings. She's watching how they move and react and slowly wiggles her fingers in return, copying their copying of Eddox. That's how you encourage early language acquisition, after all, and Hana is convinced that all babies are essentially babies.
