"I suppose...I suppose that I miss being warm, more than I miss being there," he said. "It was a small town...London is much more exciting. Plus, there is more cake here." He was evidently comfortable enough with this woman to joke. Maybe due to the mask?

He took another bite of cake before answering her next question. It was...very delicious cake.

"I'm in the...YATI program," he said, trying out the acronym. He guessed she must work in the...plant department. "I haven't introduced myself, have I? My name is Gabriel." He did not attempt to shake hands, given they were both trying to eat cake.
"More cake is always a selling point." Mariana smiled a bit around her fork and then took another bite, savoring the flavor. Dessert before dinner had been an amazing choice. "I'm a warm weather fan myself, but I do agree that there's never a dull moment living here." There was plenty to do and see and enjoy, which was one of the reasons she'd stayed.

"Nice to meet you, YATI Grabiel. I'm Mariana. I'm a botanist on level four." And she loved everything about it. The greenhouses had become a second home to her and while the ministry could be a bit...much at times, she wouldn't want to work anywhere else.

"...That's strange." She noticed the change in the room, how a few of the people conversing around them had seemed to stop, how their heads had turned. Was that..smoke?
