[Well, that's just... kind of depressing to think about. Was Gumshoe not feeding Goldie every day? Mia just looks kind of dumbfounded at Gumshoe for a moment.
[And the moment naturally fades away to other topics, so at least she's not too bent out of shape over a pet fish she's never even seen before. Now it's just being saddened that either Alex hasn't come through here or that there's no record that he had.]
No, it's fine, [she says to make Gumshoe feel a little better about the apology.] I figured it was a long shot at best. I mean, maybe it's even better that way; if you had a record here on him, that would have meant he'd gotten into trouble while he was here, right? [She flashes him a brief smile, even though she's still somewhat disappointed.]
