A voice, and hand, reached out to Edith in her moment of self pity. The person speaking to her was clearly male, or a very masculine woman, judging by the tone of their voice. Their speech, however, was the really curious factor. They spoke perfect English, without the Japanese accent.
Edith quickly lifted her head, finding a pair of sapphire orbs meeting with her own, golden-hazel, eyes. Her theory had been correct. The speaker was indeed a male and a rather handsome one at that. He appeared of European descent, the skin tone and hair coloring being the primary clues.
"Um, yeah? I'm fine." She shakily accepted his hand and shook it gently. "I'm Ed...." Announcing her true name would immediately give away the ruse, that couldn't be allowed. "Eddie, Eddie Jordan." Rising to her feet, Edith suddenly realized that just like the twins, this man was ridiculously tall. Even for someone like her, a female taller than average in Europe and certainly above the height for women in Japan, she stood short compared to these men.
