Eh? What had he raised that eyebrow for? Marina shrugged inwardly. She should have realized before, that just because she had been here to learn, did not mean no one else would was interested in 'winning.' The fact was, wanting to win is natural, for most people - it had been silly of Marina to think that, just because she was more interested in learning and delving into new things and peeking into new worlds - there was a reason she worked in the Department of Mysteries - everyone might be.

"I guess to each, their own," she laughed. "I agree that it's fun to be at the top, but it's a lot more fun to know you're doing a good job, to help others." That was what her work at the Ministry was majorly like - helping people live, unlocking the mysteries of life and death for them. Maybe that was why she wanted to go from here, with knowledge that would aid her in helping others. But, of course, people could differ. That was only natural, and totally alright. Two opposing viewpoints can both be somehwat true.
