Bored and somewhat lonely, Sasha decided to go see just who she could find lurking around the mansion. Her hearing picked up ambient sounds, indicating there were a few options of who to bother. Eeny, meeny, miney, mo...

Cookies out and cooling, she pulled out a plate, wanting to bring him down some while they were still warm enough to appreciate. She wasn't sure if he could drink milk, or even liked it, so she grabbed a bottle of water as well as pouring a glass of milk. She'd have the one he didn't want.

Water in her pocket, milk in one hand and plate of cookies in the other, she went to go hunt him down in his lab, asking for permission to enter with a, "Knock knock."

	He pauses mid-step, racing back to his seat, trying to look busy. "Come in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bumping the door open with her hip, she locates him with a smile, coming over and looking for a clear place to put the plate. "As promised, sir, one plate of peanut butter cookies. Um, I didn't know if you liked milk or water, so I got you both." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. In truth I have no aversion to dairy products, so milk is welcomed. Thank you." He takes one of the cookies and bites into it. After chewing it for awhile, he swallows it and follows it up with a sip of the milk. He looks for a proper adjective as he promised. "Delicious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The thought of self-preservation did cross my mind, but the cookies are truly good, so it worked out well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I'm glad you approve." She took one herself, munching away happily on it. "So, what've you manage to get done while I was busy leaving you alone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh dear..can't very well say you were distracted with thoughts of the girl standing nearby. "Well I..was seeing if I could add a healthier strand of mutant DNA to this more unstable one to see if the stronger one could reinforce it." Technically that was the basis of all his work, but Sasha didn't know that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-11 07:19 am UTC (link)
	"Oh? And where are you getting the healthy strands from?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Some I brought with me when I left home. Others were voluntarily given." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Need anymore samples?" She was curious about his work, never having really looked into the 'whys' of how she was different. She was more into accepting her difference and making it work for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-11 07:26 am UTC (link)
	"At the moment, no. The key is try and help those with more unstable mutations better control their abilities by utilizing more stable donor DNA." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-11 07:30 am UTC (link)
	"And are you able to do that?" She leaned over him, trying to get a look at his work. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And he's trying to ignore how divine she smelled. "well, I've made some progress, but it's still not quite ..perfected yet. The bonding process is still finicky at best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-11 07:34 am UTC (link)
	"So," she said, oblivious to his response to her, "how are you going to.. unfinicky the bonding process?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-11 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that's the latest issue to bypass. Somehow I have to make the donor DNA more receptive to bonding with the host strand. I've yet to come up with a definitive method." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She couldn't help a small giggle. "You could suggest dinner and a movie. I hear that works." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-11 07:39 am UTC (link)
	And he slowly spins his chair around and looks at her likes she just grew a second head. "Somehow I doubt such a human social dynamic applies to the world of DNA harmonization." And now he feels bad for being stern. "I apologize. You were merely trying to lighten the mood." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-11 07:43 am UTC (link)
	She laughs again, hand reaching out to pat his cheek. "Oh, sweetie, you're way too adorable. I was kidding. On purpose. I do not suggest making them partake of human socialization or relationships in an attempt to bond. I'll leave that to the humans - and non-humans." She gave him a wink before turning to grab another cookie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-11 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh," he realized, feeling kind of ridiculous. Wait, what was she implying by that wink? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-11 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	"So, any experiments you want to share with me? Or think I'll understand," she grinned, biting into another cookie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-11 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Well.." he seems to look around. "I sort of acquired some Shiar blood samples while on our outer space excursion. "I've noticed it has little of the mutational variations that humanity has, so I've been trying to see if it could be applied to my research." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-11 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	"'Sort of acquired'? Do I want to know?" She reached in her back pocket and pulled out the bottle of water, cracking it and taking a swig. "Think it'll prove fruitful?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-11 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing sordid. During the freeing of Lilandra, I acquired some blood from the incapacitated guards." He shrugs. "I don't know, but any potential resource is worth looking into." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you think alien resources are the key?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
