Devon was seated in the lounge, flipping through a recipe book. She could not help but get a little caught up in the elegantly, well lit, glossy photos of food she was not able to taste for herself. She hummed a little as she canted her head from one side to the other. She was speaking to no one in particular as she opened her mouth. “Is it strange that I would want to learn how to cook?” She looked over at the person and offered them a kind smile. “I mean I am not able to eat the food, but it is a practice I have always been interested in. And when I was a caregiver I did know some basics.” She expressed as she flipped through the pages some more.

“However I would not want to be wasteful. Perhaps I could invite some friends over, maybe even someone in the cells to come and enjoy the dishes I make.” She blinked as she considered this. She paused for a moment before rolling her shoulders back. “I do apologize, I have just been talking at you. I was actually looking for input I promise.”

It had been ages since Qhuinn had set foot in the lounge. Funny, because not long ago it would be the place to find her if she wasn’t at home or work. But large groups had been harder for her lately, so she had been avoiding it. Today was a good day though. She had some energy, and was actually feeling a bit social. So before closing the bakery, she packed up a dozen or so cupcakes and headed down there with Remus.

She had just sat down to nurse a coffee, near a girl with a cookbook. Which of course got her attention. The wolf smiled as the lovely woman talked, gray eyes alight with curiosity. Her aura and scent were so..unusual. But the talk of food had her attention the strongest. “No please, talk as much as you’d like! I own a bakery, so I could talk about food all day” She giggled. “Maybe..I could give you a few pointers? If you’d like?”

     Word tends to move fast around The Institute, especially between the faculty and staff. Of course, there wasn't many things that caught Elias' attention, but someone had mentioned that there was an android student and he immediately began to seek the student out. He felt that the human race as a whole was just lacking, however, their technological advancements were always fascinating, especially with how fast they seemed to be creating new technologies. However, an android and one that functioned to pass the turing test? He thought it very unlikely, that maybe a human didn't create the android. It seemed too good to be true in all honesty.

     Yet, he managed to find the android student and began to study their habits from afar. Devon seemed to function normally, easily blending in with her surroundings. Nothing about her was up front about being anything remotely mechanical. Who ever made her had done a very good job. Her speech patterns and mannerisms were also very human, nothing like what the virtual assistants were like on smart phones. Truely fascinating!

     Eventlually, Elias gathered the courage to approach Devon. More could be learned about her if he held a conversation. Maybe she would be ok with this, he sure hope so, but he would respect her desicion if she happened to decline. He had approached her in the hallway in between classes, hoping that it was a decent time to talk to her.

     "Mrs. Templeton..." He calls out, briskly walking around students and staff to reach her, "...Mrs Templeton, I hope this isn't a bad time to talk, but I'm Dr. Bernhardt-Schafer. I teach forensic science here, though I was wondering if it was possible for me to ask you a few questions if you happened to be free. This is nothing serious and doesn't pertain to your studies, just a professional curiosity that I have about you."

Wade wasn’t sure what to think about this whole interview thing, but he had agreed to answer the woman’s questions, so here he was. He had decided that the best course of action, was to have her come over. It was always awkward for him to go out, because he had no real need to eat. So, he waited patiently for her to arrive, making sure to put out drinks and snacks, in case she decided she needed something.
