I think that would've been both our faults, really -- so don't worry too much. Crisis averted, as they say.

It's fine, but thank you.
[Once she shoves her communicator into her pocket again, it's much easier to manage the other two things.]

Uh, I know I've seen you on the Network before. I'm Maggie.

[She nods. The girl looks familiar too, in her own way.]
Andromeda. What's that you're reading?
[She's nosy, but also genuinely curious.]

That's an interesting name. From Greek mythology.
[holds up the book] The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie. I've been doing some detective work. So I was looking for inspiration.

[She smiles briefly and steps outside once the door is open, then considers the book.]
Is it a detective novel, then? Some sort of murder-mystery?
Reply
Agatha Christie is one of the most seminal murder mystery writers in the English language. [pauses] She wrote during the mid-twentieth century.

[Then again, she hadn't really had access until she'd graduated.]
That sounds interesting, though. Might be helpful to keep me relaxed, reading in the evenings.

I think a gift to write is a magic of its own. I'm sure there are many books out there that want you to read them.

I'm sure that's true, too. I do need something to do on breaks at work -- I've just been going back to work early instead of relaxing.

You should enjoy your breaks. Especially since things can go crazy here on a moment's notice.

I know that I should, I just - find it hard to pass the time, that's all.
