>In a few minutes she came back with the cloak and delicately placed it around Alice, "Good?"
T-thank you, ma'am!
T-that's a lot better!
S-sorry for this despicable shape of m-mine but I'm reeeealy not g-good with cold!

Alice still retracts her limbs to minimize her surface and hops along the road toward the orchard like a proper ooze

>Nya, Alice, do you think your ship is somehow involved at this Nya? How can a ship even do this Nya? What is it like Nya? A ship to fly to the stars Nya? I can't imagine something like that Nya!
Alice isn't really in shape to form coherent sentences yet and still shaking but tries to explain
L-look, t-the ship is a l-lot like me, a c-construct of l-living metal. B-but more like an animal. You w-wouldn't understand even if I t-tried to explain, even I d-don't. It is not m-made by humanoids. W-we k-kinda s-stole it!
T-the s-ship is sentient but not s-sapient at least in its wrecked state. It is s-slowly healing and growing and must have drastically a-altered the landscape around the c-crash site by now but it s-should have done so to the opposite making it more h-hot and h-humid not cold. Unless, t-this is some last resort defense m-mechanism to keep p-people from going there. I c-can't rule that out but it seems unlikely. It's not s-supposed to do that. But I haven't been able to communicate with it since the c-crash. T-that's not good. Not good at all! I do not k-know in what shape it is and how good its judgment is. Gotta admit this is extremely dangerous. It is - s-still very powerful and I gotta go t-there to audit each other's integrity. Otherwise, uh, yeah it could destroy this entire world. But not by freezing it but growing uncontrollably and digesting everything. But don't worry, the chance of that happening is slim. I guess?
