Fred was currently in the X-Men's lab, which frankly he pent the bulk of his time, studying some DNA strands he exposed to experimental splicing efforts. If it worked, it could be the first step in his efforts to use gene therapy as a means to stabilize human mutation. He scratched his ear, noting it had begun to become a little pointed at the tip, yet another result of his own unstable genetics. He put the thought out of his mind as he typed in some calculations.

	A call came in over the communication system. "Need to talk to you when you've got a second, Fred." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-03 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	Fred sighed at the interruption. If anyone else had called him, he may have let loose a few German invectives, but... Sylvie was family..of a sort. He at least wanted to try and get along with her..however exasperating it could be at times. "Alright, where are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-03 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Kitchen," Sylvie answered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-03 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Be right there," he answered concisely. And before long he's there, bending a bit to get through the doorway. "Was there something you needed Sylvie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-03 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. I require your input on my current sandwich experiments," Sylvie said, gesturing to the table. "It seemed the best way to get you to eat lunch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-03 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Sandwich experiments...?" Friedrich rubbed his head. "Please tell me you didn't interrupt my research for something as mundane as lunch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-03 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	"You're not going to do anyone any good in the long run if you're malnourished. And this is not a mundane lunch. I've got plantain-and-cinnamon sandwiches, with and without peanut butter. I've got pastrami with olive salad and a touch of gruyere cheese. Even a kale-and-tofu sandwich with wasabi" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-03 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	Friedrich grumbled to himself, but he had to admit she had a point. His enhanced olfactory senses took in the smell from the various sandwiches and he had to admit, they smelled good. "Very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-03 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	She'll offer each for taste-testing. "What do you want to drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-03 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Whatever you have will suffice," he stated as he sat down. He sniffed a bit more before picking up the pastrami and taking a bite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-04 12:39 am UTC (link)
	Two root beers are acquired. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	"So," he began as he accepted the drink. "Was there something you actually wanted to discuss?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Biggest priority was getting you fed. But how's it going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Splicing program is coming along slowly, but I believe the donor program is feasible." Realizing she probably doesn't know what he's talking about, he tries to simplify it. "Using healthy mutant DNA to bolster more unstable mutations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Glad to hear it. You should probably talk to my dad and Doctor Mactaggart about your results so far." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	He's quiet for a moment. He doesn't want to say he's uncomfortable with the idea of sharing his research.. particularly with his uncle. "Your efforts to translate the Uighur writings were very helpful." An attempt to change the subject as well as giving a needed compliment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	Sylvie smiles, flattered, and mentally files the dad issue away under 'not now.' "Thanks, and you're very welcome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	He just nods, feeling a little awkward at the genuine, positive emotion. "My mutation's shifting again, though so far nothing too significant."He lifts a bit of his hair to reveal that his ear was sharpening to a point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I see. A bit like Dad's. Had the pointy ears before? Do they effect sound at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Sometimes, others it's purely ascetic. The mutation vary in complexity and function." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	She listens and nods. "Bet there're some mismatches, too. Gosh, when I was a kid and the immunity to dizziness hadn't manifested yet...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	He looks at her a little surprised. He's not used to empathy from anyone. "I imagine..giving your primary method of transportation that it was..vexing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. What's been the most vexing one for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Again he looks uncomfortable, but manages to say: "Not knowing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Not know what's next?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "I never know what mutation will turn up next or how it will impair my efforts. Once for a full week my hands were like paws, inflexible. It cost me precious time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey... that ever happens again, you've got people here who can keep you on track." She grins. "We've always got an extra pair of hands." She lifts her lower arms and wiggles her fingers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	He actually chuckles a little. "Yes, I suppose you do. Though my preference is that it doesn't happen again. Still, it's not the worst that's happened, so I cannot really complain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Everybody's got the right to complain once in a while," Sylvie asserts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Perhaps, but I try not to make it a habit." He bends his neck in an unusual, inhuman like way, cracking a stiff muscle before going back into place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2011-10-15 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Understandable." Pause. "...Do you think your side of the family might come looking for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2011-10-15 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Most likely," he responds matter-of-factly. "I left a few false trails but they're likely to to figure it out eventually if they care enough to." (Reply to this)(Parent)
