[Honestly, she's seen less flattering angles of people on video. At least Harley knows how to frame a shot. Li's just sort of aiming for her face being in frame and hoping for the best.]
Nice to meet you too, ma'am. I'm glad to be here.
[That's not remotely sarcastic. This place is substantially better than home in a number of ways.]
That would be very interesting. I don't have much experience with gymnastics, but I would be open to trying if you wouldn't mind putting up with my lack of prior skill.
Do you have a title you want me to call you by, or would Quinn-xiǎojiě be sufficient?
[She keeps her eyes from making direct contact with Harley's and tilts her head, deferring authority automatically. Li has many flaws but rudeness isn't on the list. Whether or not that instinctive body language of making herself look like less of a threat reads as polite across cultures, she's not sure, but that's something they'll have to learn together.]
