[Mary is shocked, startled to hear that Latin is no longer used in the Church.]
This is blasphemy, sir Wagner! Latin is the language of the Lord, not English or any other common language.
I only wish you had been around in my time then, to explain it as such. Science is a new concept to us, if I am understanding you correctly. The art of understanding. We have such heretics who criticize the Lord's ways, but...in your words, I can understand why they think as such.
[She pauses, a small smile forming on her lips at his words, but she doesn't comment on his interpretation of being a woman. She likes it, but doesn't think it's her place to comment on it just yet.]
Aye, I know of such a door in my own world, though I have not yet dared to cross it to see what is on the other side. Your words sound like fantasy, like heresy, yet...I cannot stay here alone forever. Such is not a way to live.
Are there others like you, sir Wagner, in your world? [She's curious, but Mary's not about to ask if there are other mutations, for she doesn't know more about it than that.]
