[ christine's no saint herself, which she debates telling him, but —she's having fun with this conversation, even if it's shooting the shit more than anything else at least on her end. banter, if you will.
it's a solid distraction and she isn't actually worried his stomach lining will dissolve in the next ten minutes from drinking shitty motel coffee. ]
so you won't be sharing recipes for kale smoothies with me? that's disappointing
[ are kale smoothies a thing? she vaguely remembers they were a thing at some point; she'd read about them in an old journal, but she can't for the life of her remember what period the text was from, and now she no longer has access to it.
maybe she should see if she can get her hands on medical journals here, make this a research stay with a focus on archeological medicine. that could be something. but before she's considered the thought more seriously, there's a knock on the door.
she assumes it'll be her current conversation partner, but assumptions aren't certainty and so her gaze is alert when she opens the door. not mistrustful, just —ready. ]
