Just makin' a little test. Don't think I know who you are, though.

No, not many here do. I'm Nel. The next time you need to do a test, please hold off on startling the rest of this ship's passengers.

[Bossy.]

Listen, kiddie, whoever you are: I generally don't listen to people who aren't Sylvanas. So take your little comments and go play somewhere else. People don't wanna get startled, maybe they shouldn't watch.

[Nel is a WOMAN, dammit, but she knows better than to rag on "kiddie".]

[Don't take too much offense to it. Karis calls everyone some variant of 'kid' eventually.]
