"But it's hardly something you can be faulted for - and if it wasn't such a... recent memory, I probably would have been able to keep my composure a little better."

Kaida took his hand, shaking it. "A pleasure, Dr. Wiley. Kaida Courcel." She looked over when she heard her friends calling her. "Afraid I'm off. I hope to talk to you again! Your views are fascinating and you yourself are nice!" She pulled out a card with her name and email, handing it to him before darting off to join her friends.
