"Some of the time," he answers coyly. Of course they will be going off the beaten path, but she might as well get to see everything while she's here, and some of that means the main routes.
The reiteration of her compliment gets a tug of his lips into a brief smile. It's nice to hear. While Hammond prides himself on getting the best people in, it can often feel like he forgets they're supposed to be the best whenever they make a suggestion or raise an issue.
"Being an island helps a lot. It means we don't have to worry about any escaped animals getting very far. There aren't many native animals that can interfere, either. It makes it difficult for any unwanted visitors, too. All of which helps me keep everyone safe."
The path evens out a bit, even becoming a proper road before they come up to the Visitor's Center. He parks them around the side, rather than in the limelight of the front of the building. Being a member of staff who was here from the start, he knows all the side routes, and Yennefer is going to get a bit of a backstage tour.
"I thought we'd start by showing you the main centre. It's not finished yet, but that just makes it easier to show you without getting questioned."
After giving her a moment to prepare, he opens the side door and brings her into the main hall. Two giant skeletons are posed, locked in an eternal battle. Scaffolding blocks some of the skylights, and the decorative walls around the bottom floor. Muldoon starts explaining some of the features of the building, the command centre, the labs, the restaurant, and the educational ride that's in the middle of being built.
