[It really was just the wording and timing, turning a seemingly nothing statement into the funniest thing Maria's heard all day. Part of it is also perhaps Shadow's always serious tone and expression, too. He's such a straight-shooter that when he says something even remotely silly, or different from the norm, it's a thousand times funnier.

She calms after a moment, looking a little embarrassed by her outburst, and begins petting a cat who has wandered over and started to headbutt her legs for attention, mewling loudly.]

[Maria takes out her Glimmer, checking the time on it real quick, then hums to herself.] Perhaps tomorrow? We...should start thinking of finding someplace to stay, actually.

[Probably nothing permanent right this second, but at least a room to sleep before making an actual gameplan.]
