Anya entered, holding Digit in her arms, her dark hair pulled back and her eyes bright. "Hello," she said brightly, coming over to him and kissing the top of his head.
She set Digit down, going around to the other side of the lab bench where they had cleared away some space for her small experiments. "I saw Trevor on the way here. He mentioned something about finding a new creature for you."
She picked up her experiment, swirling it thoughtfully. "Yes. He seemed a little apprehensive about this one. I am not sure why."
She glanced up, giving him a small smile, a tiny tattoo on her temple glowing at him like a tiny wink before she returned to her work.
Trevor was cleaning out his pod, using a broom to brush out the muck from a nearby planet. He was carefully gathering it up, as if saving it for something.
"Not love, my friend," he said dramatically, draping his arm over Basel's shoulder playfully and leading him deeper into the small pod. "Not the love that the princess and the scientist share, at least."
They moved further in and Trevor's face dropped a little as he gestured to a glass cage, seeming a little uncomfortable. "The guy's in there. He's real weird, Bazer. Creepy."
