Do? [Actually has to pause to consider the question] I do not actually… have a job, if that is what you are asking. Although… what is ‘Anderson’s Field’?
[Raises an eyebrow, but then, Anderson’s Field is pretty small. If she’s new to the city, she may not have heard of it.] It’s a town. Well, m-more like a village; it’s very small.

So it is close by? [Smiles at that – if it’s near enough to the city she might be able to visit one day, while Mike is busy.] What kind of village?
[Smiling a little more himself. She may be awkward, but she seems nice.] Well, l-like I said, it’s small. It’s s-surrounded by farmland, and woods … [He goes on to describe the place a little more] I grew up there.
