Wait, communicate? [she hopes the dog won't leave while she investigates, she wants to examine it more...but she'll tear herself away to crouch in front of the mirror.]
So you're saying you're--another person, somewhere else. [long-distance communication...she's impressed. They haven't managed that yet where she's from. She taps the mirror curiously, finding it solid. She wants to ask about this girl's strange coloration, too, but she's too polite for that, so she'll stick to discussion of plant-based communication for now.] Magic? That's the same thing as fonons, really, so I don't see what the difference is...it doesn't look like any kind of machine at all, though. How does this vine carry your voice and image?
Sorry, Jessica--you can call me Gal. Gal Cecil. [she sees no point in giving her full, real name unless it's absolutely necessary, and rank means nothing in the middle of the wilderness. Besides, this is the name she's gone by for years now.] As you can see, I'm...a little out of my element here. What exactly is going on?
