Nod nod.

"Are there a lot of flying cities?"

Headshake. "One flying city."

"...seems like a strange number of flying cities to have."

Inquisitive noise.

"Work very well. Big magic."

"Not...not know, big magic, Atennesi Cohen big magic, not know big two flying city."

"Name?"

Nod. "Atennesi Cohen name big magic alien make Genosha."

Nod. "Do they rule it?"

"Yes."

"So it's a monarchy?"

...Headshake.

"...is it a democracy and he just keeps being elected?"

"Monarchy...Atennesi Cohen not have child, Atennesi Cohen not death."

"...Maybe Atennesi Cohen know not murdered, look us."

"...but otherwise not likely?"
