Ember has been stuck in here rehearsing her small talk for FOR-EV-ER. She's worked out the best opening gambit.

Maybe her chosen-ness refers to being chosen to care for Chitter, the sacred squirrel.

That would certainly be a rather interesting plot-twist.

I'm guessing that, unless she does something like air quotes, lip-reading doesn't show sarcasm or irony.

I don't know, but I assume that facial expressions can give you quite a lead when it comes to communication intentions. As long as the speaker uses appropriate facial expressions.
But this is an iteresting point.

Yeah, I'd agree with Glew -- if you're just depending on tone of voice, I guess not, but I feel like usually you can tell from someone's expression that they are possibly being a bit sarcastic. xD

Due to personally having sucky hearing such that all my sarcasm-detection comes from face, not voice: I can confirm both that you can see from their face, but also from the actual content of what they are saying; however, I am also notorious for missing a *lot* of sarcasm. People also miss my sarcasm a lot as I only do face-sarcasm which can lead to interesting scenarios (e.g. I was not *actually* planning to attend my school formal with live butterflies in my hair. Sigh.)
