[ She hadn't come out of some deep worry for The Children. Nor the food, dancing, or lottery. Like many attending, she was there to network. Not that it holds much more interest to her than any of the other reasons, but it was more necessary for her and her plans--and Akande's plans, should those shake out.
So it is that after a night spent rubbing elbows, exchanging numbers, and asking pointed questions regarding specific topics, she's ready to leave. Ah, but the lottery. Of course. This place does enjoy making things more complicated than necessary, doesn't it? Still, she smooths down her own crisp suit, and reaches for the box. When in Rome--this probably wouldn't have been out of place in Rome, now that she thinks about it.
But her polite indifference changes when the name is called out, and Lotor steps forward. There's a flash in her eyes--someone who didn't know her could be forgiven for mistaking it for Thirst, and not Is Dissecting An Alien Allowed Here. Still, she only nods at him before turning to leave, silent until he speaks. ]
And to you. [ A pause. Is there a polite way to ask someone if you can look at their DNA? Wait--She has manners. Names, first. ] I am Dr. Moira O'Deorain. And you?
