It was about this time Mika’s distraction arrived, Large black eyes regarded the room as the Viridian Saurian slipped in quietly. Blinking both sets of eyelids he said, “I.. was unaware that humans could change their skin pigment. Can you make any other colors?” With a perpetual smile already evident in his features, it was hard to tell if he was joking or seriously inquiring.

It was at this point that Mika just dropped her head onto the table with a loud thunk. “No. We can’t.” She said to Zenzgii, without picking up her head. “What is this, Pick-On-Tandra-Day? I’m not even the one who sent that dang email,” She said into the table. She wasn’t really upset - she knew they were just kidding about with her, but she couldn’t help the feeling of Please just let me shrivel up and die, that’d be great, thanks.

The whole incident had reminded of how he and Sharah would act around each other, a chemistry he sorely missed.

Aili looked around the gathering, smiling at her colleagues one by one. “For once I have no work to be doing tonight. I intend to enjoy the evening!”

She finally allowed herself to look directly at Tandra. Her patience was deliberate, not wanting to risk embarassing the good doctor by seeming overly attached. Upon seeing the emotion painted obviously on Tandra’s face, it was obvious to Aili at least, her smile crumbled and she quickly grabbed ahold of the other woman’s hand under the table. Aili’s face was the very image of concern.
