Marina leaned forward, resting her forehead on the steering wheel. She did not have time for this. Not for questions, not for teleki-whatever, and definitely not for asking how he knew so many of her plans. There's no possible way he could have known she was planning to get something from the gas station just by reading her facial expressions, as he had said before. She took her keys out of her pocket and threw them in the cup holder beside her. "There. I won't even start the car. I'm not going anywhere."<br/><br/>It was true, at least for now. She knew she wasn't going to be able to get rid of this guy too easily, and he deserved the explanation she had promised. She was torn between being polite and asking for him to sit down, and being smart and keeping him as far away from her as she could manage. She figured that he would do whatever he wanted anyway, so she might as well stop pretending that she had any kind of control over the situation.<br/><br/>She sighed before sitting up and running a hand through her hair. "Why don't I believe that you're a guardian sent from Mother Universe to protect me?" She asked, trying to keep the obvious annoyance out of her voice. "Because that's ridiculous. There are no guardian angels. I was joking, trying to make me feel better, not trying to summon anything. My entire life, there's never been anything that could not be easily explained with science. I live in the age of technological and scientific advance. There are no great mysteries anymore, they've all been solved. Now you're just going to waltz in here and tell me that humanity hasn't even scratched the surface, because the Universe is sentient and there's other intelligent life?" She paused, wondering if that was enough.<br/><br/>"I don't believe you because it's much easier to think that my brain is playing tricks on me than it is to believe that a ball of light can turn into a man, and levitate a car. That just does not happen."
