They're under a ruined overpass when he spots it, next to a quietly burbling stream.
"Hey, 2B, look at that."

And here are the two people they've been walking toward! One with about chin-length dark chestnut hair and fairly simple clothes and some packs, looking rather gleeful.
And the other with lighter brown hair in a bun and light armor (leather and such and some metal) and also more subdued. A sword and daggers and a bow and smaller packs.
She's much more used to bizarre and fancy materials and doesn't as much.
The weapons don't seem to be blood iron, though there's definitely something... weird about them. She relays this to Genea.
Talking outloud, that's helpful. Not in a language she already knows or has used, that was probably more likely.
Know the language by any chance?
They'll probably figure out I'm a mage. If they know we're not from - wherever they're from, and I start talking.
On the other hand if I don't we'll have a job finding out anything else.
She grins. Sure did!
And, starting the basis of that process. Reaching (they're still apparently made of metal but they definitely have minds). Mapping, mapping, language, language.
If they don't start talking first after a bit she's going to say hello.
He's perfectly willing to start the conversation.
"Hello!" he calls when they're close enough.
Well, she's got enough for that! (continuing in the background, working, language, language. (And it'll help that they're talking now!))
"Hello!"
Well that's a question with a lot of possible answers. (She relays the meanings to Genea).
If she says something in her own origin's system they might realize she's from there. Which won't do. And Kashjar's she obviously doesn't know, whatever they have.
"You're in Sovereign Crossing." (Not really a good way to choose between all the names, so go with that one). Check with Genea, check around, and she recites the location in the local system (uses the river confluence as reference, like her origin's, but the numbers and all go different.)
