<div style="text-align: justify;">Mariya shrugged her shoulders when Vitali said he had figured she would go back to London after a while. She seemed a little indecisive, but not in a suspicious manner. It was mostly as a person thinking about what they would do in the future. “I… I don’t really know”, she replied quietly. “I don’t really have anyone to go back to”, the girl completed. She sighed and shrugged again when Vitali commented about her living in that remote location. “Yes, I do think Moscow would be a better option, specially to get a job. I don’t know exactly what I will do, though. I mean, back in London my job was cooking, so I am unsure”, she explained. <br/><br/>When Vitali asked if she wanted to live all the way out there, Mariya seemed pensive. She nibbled on her lower lip, as she had done since she was a child. “The place looks good enough”, she commented honestly. “It is indeed… remote, as you said,  but I don’t know. It’s not like I have anything left here but you”.  After thinking for just a while, she smiled. “You would be an angel if you found me a more permanent place to stay, once I have had some time to settle back in”.<br/><br/>Her excitement returned when Vitali asked if she would like to see some of the pictures he had taken. She would never had asked to see anything he couldn’t show, of course. Not right now, at least. Maybe in the future, depending on how things happened, she could find a way to get him to disclose more relevant information. Or to become careless enough that he would leave something where she could find. But those plans were still to be made. For now, it was just enjoying herself and resting.<br/><br/>“I would love to see all of the pictures you can show me, Viti. The whole idea of space is… exciting, almost romantic, I don’t really know how to explain. I know it’s all very… scientific, and all that. But I feel like it is some sort of epic adventure. Some sort of dream, you know?”.<br/><br/>After these words, Mariya shook her head and let out a soft chuckle. “I bet you are tired of wide-eyed people speaking about space travel as something almost fantastic”, she stated. “I’m sorry, Viti, I’ll try to be less excited about it”.</div>
