[ Haha.. wow.. completely continued my part at the wrong time XDD;; ]
Sodashi, interrupted from her dramatics, gave a dry glare to Ali, a faint smile tugging her face.
And then the faint smile was gone, her mind spinning the fastest it could go, spinning stories of every kind and discarding one after another. Her mind was screaming. Specimen?!? SPECIMEN?! I can hardly tell a tree from an acorn and you want me to tell you about my RESEARCH? Tell you EVERYTHING? MY DEAR CHILD ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! Have you clear forgotten who you're talking with??
The smile came back, the smile was gentle, while her fists were clinging hard to the fiddle in her hands. "Wonderfully actually. We've discovered that it's a... ah.." Her mind told her 'green' but she slapped it away. No freaking DUH it was green. Were they expecting purple? 'Watermelon' was next. Again, slapped away. Watermelons don't grow on trees, hun. "Oranges of some sort. Citrus, I believe? I left the seedling in my lab to come see the Esperanza Wing this morning. Still a seedling." She gave a gentle laugh, void of any of the turmoil in her mind. "I'm afraid to do too much extensive research on the seedling itself for fear of hurting it any... which limits the extent of well.. research. Once it's grown, hopefully, we can take a sample and see what's actually in the thing and get answers." Sound intellectual enough for you? Anyone who knew her remotely well would know it entire thing was bull, but the fact she couldn't even recall the other's name was a sign in her favor. Hopefully. For once, she wished for her sister's agile mind, spinning stories out of the blue, all in the work of an espionage-ian.
