had a wide smile as she leaned against the other's back as a fun way to tease the other, " Busy aren't we, Miss Beilschmidt?" She liked to greet her fellow coworker in fun ways.

tensed up immediately, hearing the voice so close by her. Apparently she had been too occupied to notice her proximity, and that wasn't a comforting realisation. "Yes, quite." She managed through clenched _

teeth, not taking her eyes off the screen.

smiled more before standing up right, " I was going to ask if you wanted to have lunch with me later but I'll take that as a no right?"

sighed quietly and rubbed her temple lightly with two fingers. "I'm sorry," she gave the other teacher a small smile, "But you couldn't have asked a bit differently? .. Sure we can."

shrugs, " Did you forget that it was your birthday as well? Lyou usualy don't stress out like this

."

shook her head lightly, and took her fingers off the keyboard as she turned to give her her full attention. "I'm not stressing, I'm working. I don't take my work lightly." She exhaled and cast her eyes _

down. "As for that, I don't see how it matters."

pouts at the other, " Means I get to treat you to something nice, ja?"

was honestly surprised she bothered to, but didn't want to start something. She already knew Köhler wasn't easy to shake off, anyway. "Fine.. If you insist. Lunch later, then?"

liked being persistent and nice to her fellow co-workers. It was rare for anyone in their faculty to be around her age.

" I'll wait until you're done then~" She hummed, pulling up a seat across from the other and feeding the lizard that was in her lab coat pocket.

gave a curt nod, and turned back in her seat towards the computer. She had nearly become immersed in her work again when she heard the odd tiny sounds she couldn't identify until she looked up at Dorthe. _

Eyeing the small reptile for a moment, she cocked a brow and glanced up to the her, her tone a little uncertain as she asked, ".. Why do you keep a lizard in your pocket?"

smiles widely as she looked up, " It wanted some fresh air so I took it outside the lab. It's not poisonous...I think." She shrugged in a joking manner as if she had forgotten the species.

lifted her head slightly, as if she would understand what she was explaining better from this angle. ".. Ah." She nodded in understanding once, then glanced back down at the screen. "I imagine it would be _

poisonous, or it's no use to your lab." She never was good at detecting jokes.

petted the lizard would seemed pleased after being fed, " Well, I'll be in deep trouble if I carried too many poisonous specimens. This one is for show during my classes."

studied the little creature over the top of the laptop. "Do you.. show them why it's not poisonous, then?"

nods as she let the animal sit on the spot that had sun on it, " Ja and also describe the features it would have if it was poisonous."

| "That makes sense." She said, then returned her attention to the documents displayed on her screen.

hums, " Its funny when the students who aren't paying attention think its poisonous though."

nodded slightly, humming in acknowledgment, though after a few seconds she glanced to her again a bit impatiently. "Would you mind being quiet while I get this done? I'll work quicker that way." After a small _

pause, she quickly added, "I don't mean to be rude, it's just how it is."

shrugs and started watching her lizard instead. She didn't mind as she was understanding.

muttered a low 'thank you', and finally focused entirely on the work in front of her.

shrugs as she waited patiently...well as patient as a Dane could be.
