"Oh, me?" she asks, as though the topic is a surprising one to find themselves on. She pulls a small face as though she can't think what to say. She can't, really. What can she tell him about herself that isn't going to sound awfully boring to a man his age.

"Well, I run the World Museum - of course, you already know that part. And, well, I guess same as you, really. I've been interested in history for a long time, and I found a place that cares about it as much as I do. I do a lot of work in the area, with the local schools and libraries. Really trying to get kids interested, you know? I feel like if you get them hooked young, they're interested for life."

It's only as she talks, that she starts to feel a little more confident, a little more sure of herself. Less of a performance from a woman who clearly hasn't been playing this part for some time.
