She wears a loose white shirt and sand-colored bloomers, billowing out until they tighten

*Eilonwy wanders by just in time to hear Vesper's final word* Not here, probably, *she says, her tone matter-of-fact* that is, if you just arrived. If you've been here for a while, I imagine that whoever it is is here, unless you're in the habit of talking to nonexistent people, which sounds rather tiresome if you ask my opinion, which you haven't.

But perhaps, in this place, it's impossible to contact the owners because there are so many people here, and one might try walking and that might fail.

A touch impatiently, Vesper answers, "But you can't just say a thing like that and not even try it! Why, that's completely unscientific!"

[princessofllyr]

*But Eilonwy comes from Prydain, where science, doesn't exist, and will only get impatient in reply* I don't know what unscientific means, but did I ever say that I didn't try it?

[lincilla]

"You certainly implied it!"

[princessofllyr]

You're assuming.

[lincilla]

"I made an educated guess."

[princessofllyr]

They're the same thing, in the end.

[lincilla]

"It isn't! It's the difference between a baseless assumption and an hypothesis based on the facts!"

[princessofllyr]

But assumptions aren't always baseless, and hypotheses aren't always based on facts.
