Alek was having a pretty darn good day. That is until Dr. Barlow ordered Deryn to go on a mission to Norwegian wood. She had asked them both to sit. Alek looked around and saw that there weren’t any chairs.
“Have some wine.” The lady boffin said while offering them both a glass. Alek sat on the rug and took tentative sips of the wine, biding his time.
“I have a mission for you” she stated clearly, looking at Deryn. Alek’s eyes widen. They’re first mission!
“Ooh!” Alek said. Dr. Barlow looked at him sadly.
“I’m afraid this one is only for our young Dylan” The famous granddaughter of Charles Darwin said sounding sincerely sorry for Alek.
“B-but” Both Dr. Barlow and Deryn looked at him pityingly
“I’m sure you’ll have your mission soon” Deryn said looking both excited and sad.
“But what will I do here!?!” Alek asked looking desperate.
“You will continue your work here”
“Without you or Deryn?!”
“Yes”
