If the girl -- El -- is indifferent, then Chekov is going to stay right where he is. He would like to know something about the stranger he brought aboard, and who knows if he'll have an opportunity to talk to her himself.

Chapel nods and notes the girl's name (and the mouse's, for completion's sake). She's pleased that El is remaining calm and willing to communicate, but she's going to try to keep this as brief as possible. The girl seems reluctant to speak to her. Some peace and quiet might do her some good.

And, to be honest, Chapel wants to cut the interview short for her own sake. Something about El unnerves her.

"Thank you, El," Chapel says pleasantly. "I just have one more question: where and when are you from?"
