a) before the jump: ( Franziska's all dressed up in her base-jumping costume, and being less than five feet tall, almost looks like a suitable sized elf. While the smattering of make-up she's wearing makes her look a little older than she usually does, she still very much appears thirteen. Her name tag, affixed to her front, reads 'perfect elf'. While she's extremely excited, she's also a bit nervous, and she's hoping that it's not showing on her face (too much).
She decides to tackle the problem the way she usually does: by seeking more information. She starts to approach the other jumpers, far more politely than she usually does. Without her riding crop, she tends to be less derisive. )
Excuse me, but I was just wondering if you've done this before...?
b) after delivering the presents: ( While Franziska's feet are firmly planted on the ground, her spirit is still somewhere in the skies. She looks completely exhilarated, and only a third of that is caused by Christmas joy, honestly. She fell through the sky. And now she wants to fly.
This time, she seeks out her fellow base-jumpers with a slightly different question. It would sound foolish if she was back in her own world, but this wasn't the America she was used to. )

Do you happen to know anybody who can fly?
