[ Salome wrings her hands in her lap, shaking her head as she looks down solemnly. The idea of lifting her gaze to see the sincere concern - the one that she can just hear in his voice alone - in his expression makes her heart sink.
She shouldn't be here. She shouldn't be admitting to any of this. She needs to hide away again. ]
I'm unsure. I haven't spoken much to our kidnappers since we were brought here, only giving them any sort of attention when they call for us. [ She's stubborn and hates that she was brought her to begin with, but who doesn't feel some ounce of animosity to their captors? ] I may feel differently the longer we're here, but time will only tell.
[ Salome then stands, hands brushing the skirt of her habit. ]
But that's enough of a break for us both, isn't it?
[Momo is very much the type to struggle with accepting concern, so her refusal to look up at him is something he assumes might be similar at first glance. Still, he's not going to take that as a reason to stop expressing it.
Nor does he quite let her brush it off completely with that call back to work, though he does offer a smile that might have just a touch of knowing to it.]
I'd be happy to hear you out more. But I guess it'd be a bad look for the public if they think we're just chatting behind the table, so I see your point.
[He punctuates that note about public image with a bit of a wink. Even if a lot of people are sour towards Patho-Gen, that's not on the other locals.]
Salome knows that her condition is unfamiliar and strange to most, but a piece of her wants to keep just a half of herself restricted; distant. Because what more she has to say will likely shatter the image she's made. ]
Not without you telling me more of yourself. Not just of your job, either, but of your hobbies and favorite foods - I think it would be for the best, considering our living arrangements.
[Momo tends not to talk too much about himself beyond the surface, but hobbies and favourite foods falls under that, and he gives a good-natured laugh, arms folding behind his head in a momentary stretch. There's a few more people coming down the way, so they might have work again soon enough.]
Well, if you want the third degree we might have to go out for drinks sometime, but I can answer those two right here - sports and athletics cover most of my hobbies, and anything with meat in it is a favourite food.
[Is that ridiculously broad? Yes. Is it still true? Also yes. Momo is far from a picky eater.]
