Myka watched as what she assumed was a conversation took place between Anakin and R2. There was no other way to describe it. While she couldn't understand what the little droid was saying, Anakin did. She only hoped that it was good and not something bad.
When he said that she could stay a smile appeared on her face. Myka would have had no problem leaving if he had said otherwise. She knew that being approached by a complete stranger was unsettling to most. Hell, even she found it unsettling at times. Her smile only slightly fell when he asked why she wanted to stay. Myka knew why she wanted to stay. It was because she was fascinated with being in front of R2 and Anakin. She'd never tell Pete about her fascination with Star Wars because she'd never hear the end of it. It was better that she kept of the facade of being a media ignorant bookworm when it came to him. But, Myka knew that not everyone was okay with finding out their life had been portrayed in a movie. An she had no idea whether or not he was privy to what happened later in his life. So figuring out a response to his question was not as instantaneous as any of her other responses. After a few moments she spoke up, "Would you accept that I'm curious as an answer? I've never seen anything like it before"
