Maya has to stop and stare again. This guy sure is a character-- and he's totally not paying attention.

She wants to have a freak out, because holy crap, being in a video game. But it looks like if she's going to get any information out of this guy-- and help him at all-- she's going to have to play along.

A coy look, and Maya does what her sister used to-- crosses her arms and rests a finger against the underside of her jaw.

"Veser, huh? That's not a bad name, either," she replies, "But I dunno. Is that really your name? You should tell me more!"
