"A flyer?" Optics flickering briefly in surprise, Elita shook her helm but quickly realised why he would assume so... at least from a cursory look and with the admitted visual similarity of the hull-panels to wings.
Helm cocking as she folded her arms over her chestplates, Elita wondered at the sudden reappearance of wariness. Something, obviously, to do with the assumption of her being a flyer, but why?
Flight-capable prejudice towards grounders wasn't something that was overly obvious in her reality, though most flyers of course carried some sense of... superiority.
"No, I'm not. My altmode is just as planet-bound as any car, I just use water to travel on." She paused, somewhat amused at the thought of an honestly flying boat. She'd almost not admitted to what her alt was, but if she ever transformed in front of witnessess, it'd be obvious anyway.
"It's just been arranged so I carry the bulk of eveyrthing like this. It's practical." Didn't overly slow her down since, while somewhat heavy, there was enough counterweight... and it was flexible enough like that to give her her usual mobility.
