Maria's eyes light up, and she gasps before turning her head to cough into her sleeve. Ouch, forgot how harsh and dry the air is...not great for her already weak lungs.]

Her cough's nothing this young man can catch, but still. Better to just be polite.] ...Sorry. B-But as I was saying, I just think about these things a lot - the science behind it all. I guess I take after my grandfather that way.
