"Sure," she said, dropping the frog into his open hands. "Since you tangoed with a wolf, I'm sure frogs are easy."

Robin nodded, holding the frog gently so as to not hurt it. It looked up at him calmly, croaking occasionally.

"He's bigger than most frogs of his species," she explained, "due to the gene therapy. He seems to like it. I don't know."

"So how does gene therapy work? Are you manipulating the dna?"

"We're actually using stem cells from another species of frog," Dara explained, pulling up her work on her computer, "nothing too mad-science, but the results are fun to watch."

"Hmm, interesting…" The frog croaked again.

Dara smiled. "I think he likes you." You're boring him. The whisper made her tense up. The snake-eel usually had no power in her lab. Was it because she'd brought a stranger inside? To disguise her panic, she turned back to her computer. "Let's see if there's anything else interesting going on…"

(@Lil, can we pretend it’s tine for the two boys to meet at the cafe?)

"I think so to." Robin smiled softly, stroking the frog with his index finger. You're making it harder for her. Make conversation, but you can't make conversation, so have fun with that.

Becca ran into the lab at the college. Of course she had forgotten her bag. She sighed.

Robin heard footsteps in the hallway and the dragon tightened its tail around his chest, making his heart beat faster.

Becca ran into the lab. She stopped when she saw two people already there. Beni grew considerably. Becca put her head down, avoiding their eyes as she went over to grab her bag, mumbling an apology.

"Oh, Becca, isn't it?" Dara spoke up after a moment. The snake-eel was positively screaming at this point: too many people in your lab, too many people, too many…

You can hardly handle one person, let alone two. The dragon hissed in his ear, winding itself around his chest and throat. And you don't know either of them, oh dear. Whatever shall you do? Robin could feel its amusement, and he knew that it was smirking at his incompetence.
