"I'd appreciate that. I've been trying to convince myself that I'm not as dumb as I sometimes feel. When you come from a world without all this—" a sweeping gesture she makes to the Green at large, with its mass of tables and people and ever-expansive peculiarities, "—knowing where to start is a real pain in the ass."
An egregious understatement, really. It's like she's planted ass-first into a kindergarten seat.
"If you ever want to lecture about your findings, you've got an audience here. I've got a lot to learn. And luckily, I like learning. Oh—"
Ripley picks up the purple geode he's taken a liking to and offers it; a sparkly olive branch of her very own.
"Here, have it. You don't need to pay me anything. Consider it a 'thank you'."
