[It's amazing how expressive she is though. A curt nod and then the roll of her eyes plus her expression gave the distinct sense that she either didn't really buy the whole idea of this being a dream or distrusted the idea.
Then she gestured again and for a moment Maria wasn't sure. It did strike her as the sort of thing someone would do when they wanted another person to continue.
Can she not talk? It certainly was beginning to look that way, wasn't it. Maybe she chose not to? For a moment Maria pursed her lips as she thought that over, then dismissed it as not that important. The other woman obviously wasn't in distress over being unable to talk or any such so it wasn't something problematic, so Maria thought.
So with a brighter smile, she continues right on. And in usual Maria fashion, she grows a touch more boisterous now that things seem alright for the most part.]
My name's Maria. May I ask your name?
[She's generally keen on meeting new people; shyness wasn't a thing in Maria's vocabulary for the most part.]
