Nah, you're not. I like hearing about other people. [she was grateful for any conversation. and this was nice with heather. already she did like the girl and wanted to talk to her more. though maria did wonder if she should tell heather she was from silent hill. but did it matter? and if she talked about that then where else would that go? and maria didn't know what to say about herself. the 'life' she had was never hers anyway.]

Just me, I think. Which suits me just as well. Not like I ever made that many friends or anything. This is more conversation I've had in a long time.

[she's smiling because that sounds sad and the truth of it all does make her feel that. it was why she was content in hearing heather talk. she looks around at other ingredients, eyeing a tomato and wondering if she should go for it.]
