[Iman is in the 7-8 range and also fully regressed]
A little girl in a hijab scampers through the meadow wielding a stick like a sword and looking for trouble. She's never seen a place like this before, it's certainly not her home in Tehran, but that's okay. There's so much to explore!
And now there's someone singing. She hurries toward the voice and sees a little girl sitting under a tree some short distance away. Iman creeps closer, keeping herself hidden behind the tree - she doesn't want to scare the kid but she has to make an entrance. She clambers up as quietly and quickly as possible until she's standing on a sturdy, low-hanging branch, one hand braced on her staff, the other against a higher limb. She can see the little girl has a flower crown and grins. She can play this game!
"Ahlan, pretty lady," she says in a big voice. She looks like she probably speaks English, so this'll be a great time to practice. "You look like you need a, um, uh..." What's the English thing for fāris? She falters with embarrassment. "Sword person!" she decides, holding up her stick like this will help.
