Since Maru had a way to collect samples, Leon wasn’t going to be stingy. With such a massive meteorite, taking a tiny fragment would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Once she got his permission, Maru’s face lit up with delight. “Thank you, Leon. I’ll make sure to take samples from spots that aren’t obvious, so it won’t affect the meteorite’s structure or appearance.”
She then began circling the meteorite, looking for a place to cut.
Demetrius leaned in toward Leon and spoke in a low voice. “Young man, I don’t know what you meant earlier, but I have to tell you—Maru is a true scientist. She’s brilliant, though a bit scatterbrained. I don’t think you can attract her curiosity with some vague, mystical nonsense.”
“You think I’m trying to hit on her?” Leon nearly burst out laughing.

“Isn’t that the case? She’s so outstanding!” Demetrius countered with obvious pride.
