82 A date with Seraphina

Author's note: this is from Aldus's point of view

As the afternoon trickled away, I found myself growing restless.

Why is Serina not back yet? 

I assumed that her experiment with Lazarus will last no more than one hour, yet it's more than three hours since Lazarus went to find Serina in the garden.

What's taking so long?

Serina explained that for ensuring optimal conditions, she needs to be with Lazarus in an unmonitored area, and I suggested the woods in the back of the property.

Did I make the mistake to leave her unattended?

Lazarus shouldn't act out of line, for his own good.

Did something happen?

No. Serina is fine.

I have on my desk an extension that shows measurements that the pheromone-measuring device Serina has is recording, and I can see that her pheromones are within the acceptable range.

It was nearing dinnertime when my patience wore off and I decided to go and check out the situation.
