Whoops, she's going a bit too fast. Melanie pauses to let Daniel catch up, making a mental note to slow down for him. "A little," she allows, because it's not as if she's seen a map of the place or anything. But if she can successfully retrace her route back out of the building, they'll come out of an underground parking garage that doesn't bear any obvious outward signs of ROMAC affiliation. That would be perfect for keeping her whereabouts a secret.

While she waits for him to catch up, she carefully parses his comment about architecture. Then, face suddenly alight with curiosity, she asks, "Are you an archeologist?" She's heard of those! Like most professions, 'archeologist' was rendered obsolete by the Breakdown, but it sounded like an interesting job to her. The fact that he's dressed as a soldier is a little puzzling, but plenty of soldiers back home had other jobs, first.
