God damn it.
The event had been on her parents' schedule, the whole reason she'd even came to the damn thing. It seemed though that their golden child had gotten sick so they had politely excused themselves from attending. Ellie had spent too much to grease her way into the event to not go and be able to justify it. So she was here, dressed as herself in her work uniform, in the hopes to at least pass around her contact info to some potential clients. Maybe scope out a few potential targets for her and Lev to hit later on.
There were a handful of people that knew who she was from before the Test. One had been immensely interested in her scarring and how her eye mod had initially integrated into her physiology, given how she was made. He was a creepy fuck so she noped right out of there. Now she was simply wandering the party in search of something or someone of interest to occupy her time. Or at least to help her offset the loss of being here.
Maybe see if she couldn't find a pretty face to talk out of her dress. That'd sure as hell make for a decent evening out.

A forced smile and a tilt of the head that almost suggested genuine interest went unnoticed. While mingling was a nice distraction the fact that none of these people even remotely spoke of why they were all here in the first place annoyed her.
The intricacies of genetic sciences, more so the process of genes coming together, was fascinating to her. Results though. That's what the hot topic of tonight was. Not the work put into their projects, but the fact of whether or not they succeeded...or failed. Excusing herself, Lora edged her way out of the small huddle of socialites and over to an empty table to sit and pull a tablet out to work. Hopefully no one would mind her getting some work done.
"So I have three appointments tomorrow for consultation. A lab tour....A..." She peered over the edge of her champagne glass at the elder guest who seemed to be hassiling some of the women next to her table. His leering over some of their more obvious genetic mods causing her lips to purse.

The asshole just wouldn't seem to leave her alone; he'd followed her across the room to continuously pester her. Her grip on the wine glass she'd snatched from a waiter tightened to the point of threatening to shatter it. God she wanted to punch him out so bad, but that would certainly get her booted from the party. She'd only given her card to two people, not nearly enough to justify being here.
"Listen, I don't know what you want to hear, dude. It's just a simple mod. I was down for a week while it healed." Her fist was shaking at her side. She tried to calm herself down by thinking about helping Lev plan a burglary of this guy's house. Oh yes. They'd take everything he had and pawn it on the black market. Or maybe she could kill him and toss his body to Soup to harvest any mods or whatever from him. That'd be satisfying.

Lora watched the scene a moment more before she set her drink down and pushed herself away from the table with gusto. The gentleman casing Ellie turned at the sound of approaching heels feeling almost like it was a warning alarm and balked when a gentle but firm hand --- a hand that dwarfed his shoulder tenfold, fingers not squeezing but giving a loose grasp to pull acknowledgement rested upon it.
"Dr. Matherson, you are well aware that following people around a venue is considered rude, right? Also highly illegal." Voice all sweet but holding a sharp edge.
"I-I yes, but I was only curious about her is all, Sibley. We are at a party celebrating such artistry, no?"
"True, but clearly this fine lady has had enough questions. Now, I think another guest has arrived, why don't you help our host greet them?"
"But I---"
"Doctor..."
Her brows arched up and her jaw set while her grip got a tad firmer. It was clearly a challenge that if he didn't mind his manners there would be trouble. And he knew Lora well enough from other times that she didn't put up with anything less. When he didn't answer her eyes only narrowed more --- a clearing of the throat and he apologized as he ducked out of her hold and scurried away into the crowd out of sight.
Lora let her shoulders relax and she straightened her glasses, letting out her held sigh through her nose. "I'm sorry about that, Dr. Matherson is harmless really. He gets a little too excited sometimes and needs reminded that personal space is a thing." She flashed a smile down at Ellie. It was almost cute how tiny she was, she hadn't noticed in the moment and actually had to steel herself from letting out a tiny coo of awe.

Oh sweet scorched Earth.
Ellie held her wine glass closer to her and for once didn't mind the slight neck strain with looking up. The woman was--well, she was damn impressive no matter how you looked at her. Good lord, she could probably bench press a car with those arms. Even the big glasses did little to take away from how attractive she was. And that dress.
Oh she was talking to her, wasn't she?
"What? Oh, yeah, no, it's--it's cool. I mean, I'm fine." She waved her free hand as if to brush off the concern. And oh god did her voice really sound that flustered? Mortifying. The hell was wrong with her? She swallowed and took a drink from her glass, hoping to steel her suddenly shaky nerves. "I can handle myself. But, you know, thanks. I appreciate you, uh, helping out."
She gave the woman another once over, considering. Then she extended her hand to her, "Name's Ellie. That good doctor called you Sibley?"

Oh, first name basis? That was different. Though now that Lora took in Ellie's attire, she wasn't gussied up like her or the other guests and rather looked dressed for a fight. She had her assumptions but kept silent in her wondering instead gently taking the woman's hand in her own --- good lord she was so small in her grip --- and introduced herself.
"Ah, that's my maiden name and just what I'm addressed as to my peers. You can just call me Lora. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ellie."
After a moment she let go and gestured toward her table, all smiles. "You're welcome to sit with me if you'd like?." She leaned in close and put a hand up to her cheek as though shielding some big secret from the rest of the world, offering a small wink in turn after scouting out the rest of the crowd. "It's not the jazziest company to hang out with if you get me. Plus, pardon my observing, but you don't look the scholarly, stuffy type."

The woman's hand felt like it could crush hers and okay, wow, that wasn't something she was used to running into. She grinned, hoping she didn't look as stupid as she felt. "Lora, huh? Nice to meet you, Lora." Lora Sibley. She made note of the name.
She glanced at the table that Lora was gesturing to. Well, that wasn't how she was planning on spending the night; she really should hand out more of her business cards. So much money was spent to get in. But then Lora was leaning in and whispering and all thought of stepping away vanished. "Schol--no, that's--yeah, that's not me." She cleared her throat then gestured to her outfit. "I'm, uh, a bodyguard. Of sorts. I mean, not of sorts, that's what I am. Err, do. Just here to, you know, shop for clients." And to stalk her parents and little sister who weren't here, but that was besides the point.

Lora nodded in understanding, righting her posture and once again adjusting her glasses that slipped down her nose from the shift in stance. The woman had to wonder though as she looked her conversation partner up and down. While Ellie was obviously decorated from her choice of career and had the muscle mass to back her claims, her body type didn't seem built for such heavy dealings.
"Sounds like an exciting line of work. So you're definitely not here to discuss the finer details of nucleotides and the chemical structure of thymine, I'm sure. Unless you're also in the market for wanting a modification of some sort? Sorry if I'm being too personal, I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I can be a bit of a rambler and just keep talking when I find someone interesting---oop I'm doing it again." She chuckled a little and placed the tips of her fingers against her mouth in an attempt to jokingly stop herself from saying anything more.
At Ellie mentioning her scouting she clapped her hands together and gave her a large toothy grin. "I could actually help you find some clients if you'd like? I know quite a few socialites who like to make public appearances in some of the less safer parts of the city, particularly in the lower class and the slums. I could put in a good word for you or introduce you and get some connections going, an interview of sorts if you'd call it that."

"Afraid I'm quite happy with my current mods, sorry." She tapped the scar that ran over her modified eye, winking to activate it. The eye shifted from its lifeless and blind gray to the bright orange, pupil dilating as it adjusted to seeing. Lora was briefly replaced by blotches of red and yellow before she winked again to shut it back off. She smiled at the way Lora rambled on; unlike with certain other people she knew that rambled, Lora was actually kinda cute with it. And Ellie didn't even like cute.
But then again, Lora also looked like she could pick her up with one hand and wow Ellie did like that.
She jumped a bit in surprise at the clap but grinned at the suggestion. Well if that wasn't a two bird situation. "That would be great. I mean, if it's not, you know, too much trouble. I'd hate to take up your time if you'd rather discuss those nucleo-things with one of your colleagues here."

Lora was immediately fascinated by Ellie’s show and tell, leaning in again to give it a good look.
She was almost tempted to touch her, but refrained out of knowing that probably wouldn't sit well with the other woman.
“What functions do you use it for? Is it just for sight or does it have other capabilities? Sorry if that’s too personal.” she flinched a bit. “I myself don’t usually work in tech mods, not exactly my specialty, but the craftsmanship that went into it is nice. It suits you.”
She laughed and cast a glance over at the other guests. “As charming as my colleagues here are, I can only listen to them for so long. They aren’t in my field so they only know your typical anatomy fare. Enough to suit people up with the proper machinery they need. I work a bit deeper than that.”
