"She has... too many? How many legs are spiders supposed to have, then?"

The meaning of that turn of phrase has sailed right over Allura's head. Not just because Earthlings have come up with some truly odd expressions — but because she's encountered more than a few space creatures with more legs than this. And this barely registers as a giant, not when she's seen creatures the size of planets.

With a polite smile, she responds to the greeting with her own, "It's very nice to meet you, Miss Daisy." And then, she starts to reach for one of those pedipalps, before she decides it's best to confirm: "It's fine to shake her legs, right? Rather than pet them?"
