A girl wandered the ship, and not the outpost. She knows there were cruel things there. Evil things. [Because more than anything else, a girl listens and watches.]
A girl would ask a question of everyone, to distract from those things. She hopes all may answer, for there are a great many foreign things to her here.
What city, country, planet [yes, she remembers these strange but important words] do the people of Tranquility call home? Where do they come from, if they have no home? What are their names?
A girl regrets that she cannot answer well. A girl is of the Faceless Men, and so she has no name, no face. Her only home is in Braavos, Essos, on a planet that has no name, like the girl.
[Maybe it's a warning, in the end, now that she knows the kingslayer is to gain a hand: she knows that the only people who will really understand what the Faceless Men are, are few on the ship; but there are others, she thinks, who will interpret the words she does not say.]
A girl will listen to true and false answers alike, if she must. She only asks for answers.

[Surgical shine job, he'd told another girl, a long time ago. But there was no such thing.]
How much does she watch?

[She wants to ask why she can't, but she bites her tongue; if she listens, maybe he will say what he would not if she asked.]
