Dakota continued her quite smiling as Olive explained her passion for science. It definitely went over her heard, but she could tell that it was something genuinely interesting to Olive. And who was she to judge that? "Sounds... intense."
Shifting uncomfortably, Dakota looked around again and shrugged in response to the topic shift. "Makes a living for sure, passion... meh. What is passion anyway? It's really just like mental masturbation, thinking a lot about something that excites you. But what's the point?" Sometimes, Dakota just rambled and didn't listen to herself. Luckily, she caught the tail end of what she'd just said and felt badly. Turning her attention back to Olive, she looked guilty like a cat who'd just eaten a canary. "Sorry. You're super nice and I don't mean to knock your shit, I just... don't know what it's like."
