There was grousing and annoyance at being taken away from her coffee coming from the tiny pink-haired person floating above Ace's tablet. It was enough to catch her attention, as was the girl's amusement in making someone 'have kittens' if they were here. Normally she wasn't one for greeting arrivals here - better to let other, more diplomatic people break them in. But she was intrigued enough to open her mouth. "What's a muggle?"
When Ace's voice comes up over the tablet, it scares the hell out of Tonks. She jumps, stumbles back, and nearly trips over her over-sized pajama bottoms, letting out a startled noise. Okay, so it was on. Recovering quickly, Tonks creeps closer, and then peers at the tablet again.
"A Muggle? Well, er..." Tonks makes a bit of a shifty face. "See, they're-- well, hm. I'm not really allowed to say, y'see. Unless you're a witch as well, which you aren't, since you've no idea what a Muggle is."
"Unless you know what a muggle is you can't know what a muggle is? What kind of bleeding logic is that." Sounded like something the Professor would say, actually.
"So I guess that makes you a witch then, huh? Haven't met one of those before."
"Oh, no, I'm British, through and through. Only been out of the country once, I have," Tonks replies, smiling. And then the Earth comment clicks in. "Hold on a moment, what was that about fake Earths?"

"Suppose it does. We're supposed to keep the magic thing quiet, causes a ruckus with the Muggles if we don't."

"You sound British. Are you really, or are you from one of those planets that seem like they should be Earth but really aren't?"
