It was her first day at work and she had no idea how it would go but she had been shown the majority of everything and was fitting right in. She was working alone but in the lab she was sure that, was something that was not going to last too long. The earth was something that she found so intruiging as she looked through the microscope and slightly hummed. She had met a few of the higher ups but no co workers yet though she hoped that would soon change. David Lightfeather

The labs usually had plenty of research going on in many fields. At present David was working with Artemis on more theoretical ideas. In the UK he wouldn't have even gotten the chance to research these but here opportunity was everywhere. He'd cut through this lab with a mug of tea in hand as he needed to just away from his computer for a few minutes. He'd convinced Artemis to do the same as she did work too hard. Even a short break freshened up the mind. He almost walked past her but stopped when he seen another redhead; and he thought he might be the only one. She seemed focused on her microscope so he let her continue while he sipped some hot tea. He figured out that at some point he wouldn't be able to get tea anymore and have to drink coffee. Another tie to the nation he was exiled from severed in time. He didn't want to alarm her so he moved in slightly and quietly asked "what looks so interesting?" All science was interesting and it all had value. Peyton Coldstone

Peyton normally stayed to herself and so deep in her research that she did not know if she could work well with others but she knew it would eventually be apart of the job and that was fine when she heard a voice. She looked up at him and she took a second. "It is just some pieces of the earth that, well so far they do not mean anything but I like looking at them," she said quietly. Why had he stopped? She was curious as she turned her head a second and still looked at him, stared really as rude as it seemed. "You must work here too," she said still quiet. She had only met Avery and that meeting had not went well for Avery had been a tad mean something that she was not used to at all. "My name is Peyton," she finally said. David Lightfeather

When the woman spoke to him he knew there was something different about her compared to other co-workers. Her voice sounded European for starters but he couldn't place the country just yet. You wouldn't forget her either but he figured he had just surprised her. Her striking looks made sure he wouldn't forget Peyton. "They might mean something later on. That's the nature of what we study" David quietly replied. "Actually I do work here. I share an office with Artemis Fuller not too far from here if you ever need a friendly face. "I'm pleased to meet you as well". David's usual personality was one of being friendly and light hearted with little to hide. "Have you had the tour yet?" he posed. He knew he hadn't seen her before but didn't realise this was her first day. He'd also had a meeting with Avery when he started and he could deal with her. Not many could first time. Peyton Coldstone

She took a second and nodded. That must be another co-worker. It was good that the place seemed to be booming because it certainly was the place for it. Still what she was thinking at the moment was that they were talking and she knew that was allowed but still. "I am hoping that down the road it will mean something even if just a small thing and no, I have not had a tour yet." It explained why she got so lost. "I could use one though," she said as she nodded, still a bit nervous. "I tend to get lost and that is never good." David Lightfeather

So no tour yet. David could help her right now with that problem and also introduce her to Artemis later on as well. So with mug of tea in hand he replied in a friendly manner "I'm David Lightfeather and I'm able to show you around". So noting her nervousness the tour started right now. Each lab had these big work tables where you could spread out and even have two groups of people at the same table. Then leaving the current research area they moved to the main labs 1 & 2. You could have public visitors in these on defined days and these both had their little kitchens where you could make tea, coffee or even microwave a snack. He then showed Peyton the side rooms which were meeting rooms, larger offices and smaller offices. One of the last being the small office he shared with Artemis. It was big enough for two to move freely in without feeling cramped. David had a french press on a little side table and they both used this for their caffeine requirements so they didn't need to leave as often. The last thing being the public dining area in the space behind reception. It had vending machines, a microwave and tables for two people and upwards. You also could have larger meetings in this area too when it wasn't being used for its intended purpose. It wouldn't take long for Peyton to find her way around after that tour and now they were back at her microscope where they'd first met. "I don't think you'll get lost now" he added with an offer of his own. "If you don't have your own tea or coffee yet see Artemis and myself. We can keep you going in the meantime". It would also help her open up to other co-workers in due course. Peyton Coldstone

"Okay," she said. He was nice and it was not that she did not know that nice people existed it was simply that she was not used to it but she would not cry about it either to anyone. Everyone had a story and the tales were not exactly going to always be nice ones. Still she took note of all the places that he showed her and she spoke after he did. "No I do not think that I will, your tour was actually very nice." She shook her head. "I have nothing set up coffee or tea wise so I suppose I will see you and your coworker again," she said. "I think that would be good for me if I learned to talk to more people and get to know them. It is just hard sometimes," she said as she pushed her hair back and honestly kept her eyes to the ground. "Takes a while to come out of my shell I think." David Lightfeather

David mused that Peyton might need time to fully find her way around but already she was in his thoughts. He also figured that Artemis wouldn't mind meeting her either and after listening to all she had to say he smiled again. Perhaps she would need a bit of time to open up to people. He knew all about that given he buried himself in work while in the UK so he wouldn't have to deal with the reality of what was going on round him. "Now you know where to find us all you need is a cup or a mug of your own. Perhaps I can help with coming out of ones shell as well. Do you want to get some dinner after work? Nothing formal but the hotel does have a good evening meal menu". Questions remained but he didn't want to rush this and scare of her. The hotel as a venue made sense to him considering she was new here and if he was still in a room she would be as well. He didn't want to mess anything up while he tried to befriend this striking redhead; after that who knew. That was down to the unknown future. Peyton Coldstone

There was actually a time where Peyton would have said that she did thrive on making friends but the truth was that felt so long ago that she did not know if she still did but she was not rude nor would she ever be. She looked at him as he talked and slightly raised her eyebrow. Food with someone else? How long had it been since she had did that, years she was sure. "Okay," she still whispered. It was not that she could not talk louder she was still just trying to figure him out. He seemed nice though so she cleared her throat and spoke in a normal tone rather than a whispering one. "That would be nice but only if you really want to do it." David Lightfeather

Damon noted her eyebrow raise in lieu of words. Peyton didn't say much and she might still be shy. Perhaps she just needed a bit of reassurance too. So when she finished speaking he replied. "I would like to take you out to dinner Peyton. Its nothing formal but do you know when you get off the clock?" The first thing that needed to be figured out was a starting time but she did seem to want dinner with company. He'd even get her a mug of her own if that helped her open up. Peyton Coldstone

She straightened up a little bit as her eyes darted from side to side. It really was not him but from time to time she did like to check for spiders. It was also not in the fact that she did not think that the building was clean but still she sighed. "Sorry I thought I seen something. I get off in an hour and a half," she said. "We can meet right outside," she said as she pointed. "Right there work for you?" David Lightfeather

David did a mental calculation and given he'd started early today getting out in a hour and half would be easy. "That sounds like a plan. We'll meet up then and then get dinner" he replied in a friendly manner. He wasn't sure what Peyton had just done but might notice it more later on. He tended to take notice of dogs more than any other animal but potentially could change into parts of other animals. That would take more study on his part. Peyton Coldstone

Work was always well work. She did not think that was a bad thing, she simply thought that you did your job and if you loved it as much as you did it did not seem like a bad thing in the end. She was glad when the day was over though that was something that she would never deny as she stepped out and waited for David. Normally Peyton would just go home and order food so this was actually a nice change and welcomed pace. She was going to try to just hold on a normal conversation for once and hopefully not come across as awkward as she had before with others. David Lightfeather

Today was one of those days when Artemis and himself could finish up on time. Two heads helped clear the academic papers up quicker and right now they were the first people to look at the possibilities of science and figure out if these ideas needed further attention or not. Ethics would be figured out later on but this stage was about practicality. So able to leave his lab coat and work behind he didn't have to worry about his dog. The walk could wait till later on. He seen Peyton waiting for him and smiled a little. "Hello Peyton. How was the rest of your day?" he posed. The hotel wasn't that far away from work and they could even walk it. Peyton Coldstone

"Oh it went fine. I mean I love the job and I will get used to the people so hopefully it will all work out every day. To be honest this is the part that I look forward to the most honestly," she said. "How was yours?" She was interested because that was just the natural way when it came to her. David Lightfeather
