Vivienne was straight to the point with her comeback.

Percival and Thomas didn’t show much emotion, but Isolde looked confused. She tilted her head to look at Vivienne and asked in a childlike tone, “Vivienne, isn’t she a human?”

She then hid in Vivienne’s arms and pretended to be scared, “I’m scared! There’s a ghost!”
