A bottle of wine arrived as Danika was telling him all about he work. Highly rude, but when he looked around he noted that the Consul was present and watching. He wasn't an idiot, he'd seen the pair dancing at the ball. He was present and he wondered if this was a means to intimidating him. Allan was not interested, not that the woman wasn't pretty enough or smart enough. She worked for the Ascendancy and anyone in that circle would be off limits for him. Last thing he needed was for the most powerful man on the planet to take exception to who he was with.
Distractions didn't seem something that their good overlord might like. And Danika's work seemed important. Very important. If they were truly to master this power of theirs they needed to understand it and perhaps Danika was the key.
Allan acknowledged the gift with a nod of the head but didn't invite the man over, he had private conversations he wished to have with this young scientist who seemed to flock to men of power. Allan turned his attentions to the server and suggested they serve the wine as intended. "Send our regards and..." Allan sighed. "an invitation? If the lady doth desire his company." He looked to Danika for confirmation. "Perhaps the consul might like to listen to your quandary, while we chat over the most delicious food."
