Emille takes Héctor's "oh"s as a bit of disbelief -- it seems to be the default response from many to be taken aback by a four-foot-tall biology professor. She's used to it, though, and just shakes it off: "Yes. I may be short in stature, but I am capable of many things."

Héctor may not think that his "specialization" is much, but it interests Emille. "What do you mean by 'translating,' if I may ask? I myself am still getting used to the world beyond the Veil, only having been exposed to it a year-and-a-half ago. In that regard, I may have more in common with the students that you assist than my fellow colleagues."
