[ He would be forgiven for thinking the rapidfire series of questions is just Nina's typical lively personality matched with natural curiosity. It's genuine, after all! But underneath that, keeping him talking has the secondary effect of giving her a bigger window to chow down on nuts and dried fruit like a squirrel on caffeine.
