There was one where we had to prove this invisible guy was innocent of theft! And we traced his steps and everything, it was pretty exciting.

(Certainly seems like the right course of action when it comes to an invisible person.)

I see...

[He fixes her with his best investigative stare.]

So you've had a pretty good time here despite it all, Maya?

[.... What is with that stare. Another pause.]

.. Huh? Are you worried about what it's going to be like for you, or something?

Things can get pretty sucky here, but there are a lot of great people and opportunities, so don't worry, you'll be fine!

[Answering questions: You're doing it wrong, Maya. (Those psycholocks are still up, anyway)]

(If I'd meant me, I would've said me, Maya...)

All right... I'll talk to you about this later, when I've got more of an idea of this place.

[Bullet dodged?]

[Erk, he said later...]

Alright... but you don't have to worry, Nick.

... So are we getting those noodles or what?

Oh... Well, you're the one who knows where it is, and with the money, Maya.

You distracted me. [And oh, she's leading him again...]

(Oh, right, I forgot Rule 1 of Maya Club. It's always my fault.

...Except when it's all her fault.

Pretty complicated club.)

[No kidding. In any case, it takes another minute or so to reach the stand, and Maya bounds over to chat up the guy, earning them two bowls of super-discounted noodles. Perks of being there super-often. She hands over one steaming bowl to Phoenix]

Here you go, salty and brothy and awesome!

(Mmmm... Noodles...)

[A muffled:] Thanksh. [And he's already eating away. Man, he is pretty hungry.]

[Maya holds off on eating for no, heading over to a bench and gesturing him over. He looks pretty weird scarfing it like that while standing up, after all]

Don't forget you owe me!

(You won't let me forget, and I know it!)

[He follows her to the bench distractedly. He's hungry, man.]

[She plops down on the bench and starts eating herself, though she's more picking at it than anything, looking over at him every so often.]

[It's maybe starting to sink in that this is Phoenix, and he's here]

(Am I eating more than Maya...!?

I have a problem...)

It's good, Maya.

[Poooossssibly. Maya blinks as he addresses her, catching her mid-thought, and then:]

Of course it is! I picked it out.

...But you don't seem to be eating it even as fast as me. Pretty unusual.

I guess my stomach for noodles is almost full right now...

(Shouldn't you have known that before you suggested noodles?)

I didn't think any of your stomachs could actually be full...

Don't be a dummy, Nick.

Besides, I'm just digesting for now! I'll polish these off later. You just got here, so you're pretty hungry, right?

(Am I the dummy, or is it the person who suggested noodles after their noodle stomach was almost full?

...Or is it me for treating her stomach thing remotely seriously?)

...Yeah, it seems like it.

[It's you, Nick]

So there we go. You've got to eat and get your strength up!

(It's always me.)

...Thanks, Maya.

[That just gets a quirky little smirk out of her. Nick... it is really him here, isn't it? It's been months--]

You know about this place, right? The companies and monsters and Cores?

[OH MY]

Well, I wouldn't say "know", exactly, but I've heard more than I can understand already, anyway.

Maybe I should hold off so your brain doesn't break, then.

[... Ack, where is he going to stay now that the apartments are burned down?]

Um....
