Rita, for what it's worth, is idly sitting a decent ways away, listening to the story of Liangken. And while she's technically listening, she's practically muttering to herself the entire time about how ridiculous it all is. Probably the words "fairy tale" or "giant turtle, ha" could be heard if one is close enough. For the most part, she's entirely keeping to herself, not really going out of her way to interact with people. The few kedan who do approach her are practically shooed away. Youthful energy? She'll spend that doing research and jotting down notes and mathematical equations in a notebook, thank you very much. There's so much time for that.

She will be glancing up from time to time, looking at the shapeshifter competitions going on. And she'll frequently be making rather distasteful expressions at this. Everything has gone extremely strange and weird, and she's not a fan of this at all.

"There had better be some damned good explanation for what the hell is going on here," she'll probably mutter more than once.
