((OOC: Oops. I didn't pick up on Ripley's question about the sword. My bad. Need to do it here.))
As Ripley asked to inspect the sword, May saw the expression on her own face and could guess what Hiro was saying. "I'd ask him. I gather it's pretty important. I didn't damage it," she added for Hiro's benefit, hoping that even if he couldn't understand her he'd get the gist.
May frowned at Rose's comment about the Others. From what she'd seen during the trip to restore Tara's magic, the Others weren't all there to begin with. They made River look stable - and she hated to even think that, because River was in pretty good shape for someone who couldn't turn off mind-reading at all. "Why would it fear the beach? Would it not be able to attack near water? Or in open spaces?"
She was throwing out random questions, and the murder probably might have nothing to do with the smoke monster at all, but it was good to be speculating about something instead of mulling over the death or the current body-switching situation. "Hey, you've actually encountered it before," she said to Rose and Chloe. "Did it ever come out during the day? Has it ever attacked out in the open, when it's light out, or was it always just smashing down trees?"

For some reason, coffee sounded really good.
