Effie sneered in the direction of yet another obnoxious patron who yelled drunkenly at the serving staff. She couldn't quite grasp the nerve of some people. She tucked a piece of her stark hair behind her ear and averted her attention back to the waitress who had acknowledged her with a polite finger. Effie nodded towards her to show she understood and turned back to her notes, using the time to scan over the translations with dim interest. She wanted to study something exciting, not this archaic prose with it's staunch opinions and questionable theories. She became so immersed in thought that she didn't realize the waitress was standing over her table, balancing a fruity cocktail on her tray. Effie smirked, almost embarrassed, as the android set the drink down on her table. [color=#00868B][b]"That obvious huh?"[/b][/color]. She felt the tips of her ears turn pink, it must be pretty pathetic. She'd been sitting alone with her books for hours. 

[color=4286f4][b]"May I be of further service, miss?"[/b][/color] Up close Effie was blown away by the accuracy gone into the androids design, really if the men hadn't of pointed it out Effie wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.

[color=#00868B][b]"Your design, it's just brilliant. I-"[/b][/color] She paused with a look of absolute horror, or close to as she realized just how unmannerly her comment was. [color=#00868B][b]"Oh! I am so sorry. That was really rude of me. You probably don't want anyone commenting on that. I'm no better than that thug from earlier."[/b][/color] She felt the pink starting to light up her cheeks, it was really involuntary with her pale complexion, but Effie couldn't help her innate curiosity. The drive to learn was literally built into her. [color=#00868B][b]"Forgive me. And I am fine for now, thank-you."[/b][/color] She went to turn back to her books as another patron beckoned towards the waitress. However, Effie couldn't quite hold her tongue, she just needed to know more. She quickly turned back to the waitress. [color=#00868B][b]"Listen, I know you have some work to do but I would love to pick your uh, brain, so to say."[/b][/color] She smiled sheepishly, [color=#00868B][b]"I would like to start writing a series of theoretical essays on the use of technology in the human body and well..."[/b][/color] Effie trailed off and fiddled idly with the straw in her drink. [color=#00868B][b]"Just when you have some time, I think it would benefit my research to get a better understanding of artificial life, uh so to speak."[/b][/color]
