Thanks again, Marcos. I owe you one. I'm Nacho. [Pause.] A mutant, huh? What, like Superman?
[He sounds more curious than angry or disgusted. And, okay, Superman's an alien, technically, but... go easy on him, Marcos. He's trying to be friendly! You could be forgiven for not picking up on that immediately, though.]
Listen, if there's anything I can do to say "thanks," just... let me know.
