[ The doctor certainly doesn't mean to press; if anything, her demeanor comes off as genuinely inquisitive and she only wants to know more about this man she's spent so much idle time with, because really, they didn't much speak when they shared gym space. It was a quiet camaraderie and she was rather fond of him and their working partnership. And likewise, she's enjoying the sound of his voice when he begins to speak, hearing it thrum against her ear so close to his chest; it isn't a strange topic with his arm about her shoulders, the way she rests against him comfortable and enjoying the mere act of learning about him. The subject itself could be anything, really, and still she wouldn't pull away.
This is his life, and it's what "normal" meant to him. She'll listen with the same consideration he's given her before. ]
Did I never explain the gorillas on the moon to you? [ Look, there were some things you told someone about where you came from... and then there was the colony of gorillas on the moon; "confusing" is relative. It is teasing, though, and if he even tries to inquire after it she waves a dismissive hand at him so he'd continue. When he straightens she moves with him easily, relaxing against him in a way that shut out the space between them, fitting up against his side perfectly. ]

Snake was near enough to that himself, wasn't he? she's trying to sort the context out for herself so he didn't have to explain as much. ] Radio and security feeds as well, I assume. Hmmm... How was that influencing things? Stock markets, bank accounts? Politics?
[ Her imagination can only fill in so many blanks, and she isn't entirely sure she's on the right track. But she's trying. It's difficult to reconcile older forms of technology and the securities involved. It'd been the dawn of technology, back then, but she's one hundred years in the future. ]
