She is very used to people being taller than she is, so honestly he probably doesn't need to sit down to talk to her. She'll look up when the eye contact is necessary, otherwise she's perfectly content having conversations from knee-height. She's been two feet tall in a human sized world for long enough now that she's willing to concede eye contact for conversation.

As for knowing what needs to be fixed, she does at least have an answer. "From precursory scans using drones, there is some damage, especially in the R&D wing. But I think it's probably too dangerous for repairs right now. There are quite a few spirits still left alive down there." The one in the power wing, all sorts of mimics... She wouldn't be surprised if there were a few green-eyed ones, too. "Besides, the repairs would likely require specialty supplies. I'd think we'd have to get the portal up and running down there to get the appropriate materials."
