                                                                      She was still a bit hungry after the candy bar and could eat just about anything. “ Hai ,” she replied; then remembering to speak in English, “yes”.                                                                                                                                             The road still had compacted snow from what had fallen earlier that day, and snow flurries were just starting up again. The consequences  could result in her car being snowed in, or towed if she left it at the gas station. They got the fast food and she ate as he drove back to retrieve her car.  She followed him to another gas station that was still open at that hour, filled up, and the two made their way to her home.                                          It was now after midnight and even though he had an early morning lecture, he offered to stay and keep an eye on her. Not wanting to be a burden, she reassured him that everything was fine and that they would discuss the day’s events in detail later on.

                  Dorian left Yuki's apartment feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. Yuki had spoken only briefly about what had been discussed in her meeting, but he knew it had involved him and his research at Primase. Various scenarios were running through his head concerning the questions she would undoubtedly have. The best course of action, he decided, would be to test the waters, see what she knew, and play his responses off of that. At least that way he wouldn’t have to divulge anything unnecessarily.                                                                                                  
                  The following morning Dorian got dressed and headed off to the University. He asked Engel to set up the power point presentation for the section he was lecturing on for an immunology class at the medical school.              His concentration was not fully given to the lecture as his thoughts were drawn to the impending meeting with Yuki; undoubtedly, she was already in the lab.                                                                                                                
                  “That went well,” Engel said in a joking and sarcastic tone after the lecture.                                                                                                                               “I’ve got a lot on my mind today. Engel, do me a favor and take my 2:30 for me. It’s pretty straightforward; all the material is on the slides. You already know this like the back of your hand,” he said, looking tired.               “No problem, Chief.” Engel was clearly happy to have an opportunity to get in his good graces. “Everything all right, Dr. Lystad? You seem a bit distracted.”                                                                                                    “I’m fine; I just have a full plate today. I appreciate you helping me out. I’ll see you later on.”
