The Omnibus of Gods

[Danika]

Her heart sank quickly, but all it did was push her lips into a contemplative twist. She wouldn’t give up asking, even if it meant submitting a new request daily. She had no idea how the Nine were deployed, and their work was probably far more important than tinkering with her in the lab. Yet here one just appeared like a mushrooms in the grass after a hard rain. And omg that smile was the kind that made her want to tuck her hair behind an ear and look away.

“Um, well going, actually. My lunch is in sporogenesis.” She chuckled then added an explanation. “Sorry. Fungus joke.” She looked at the sprung out wing of his elbow confused for a second before realizing that it was for her. “Oh, thanks.” She started to slip her arm through, feeling like she had at the ball. Only to realize that she couldn’t take the lab coat out of the actual lab. “Sorry again, just give me a second.” And she hurriedly shrugged it off, only to toss it across the back of a chair. She had like four more stuffed somewhere.

She hurried back and resumed the previous position.

“Um, my name is Danika. Zayed. Pleasure to meet you finally.” And she gave a little mock salute with her free hand. “You sure its okay? I don’t want to lure you into something that will get you in trouble.” Her smile was wide and toothy. She wasn’t wearing lipstick or much at all in the way of makeup, but she was actually sincere behind the smile.
