"Pleased about something?" Maya asked the man who'd just sat down. She was tempted to ask how he'd gotten rid of his nurse so quickly, but the answer could quite simply come down to his nurse and Maya's nurse having different personalities. Of course, it also depended on their charges; Maya couldn't discern whether her escort was upset with her on the best of days, and honestly: Maya simply didn't care enough to find out.

The question, then, was fairly pointless. "Did you have a good night?" Maya said instead, falling back on something that reliably occurred to everyone, even if someone's nighttime experience might be more fruitless than others.
