The two girls had a lot to catch up on. Though Ria was mostly inquiring into what her friend had been up to, since they both knew what Ria had been doing for the past six months. Surprisingly, Misha expressed a modest amount of enthusiasm as she described what she had been up to, which meant that she was extremely excited.
"I recently received approval for an original research project that I have pioneered," Misha informed Ria with a tinge of pride in her otherwise monotonous voice, something that was very unusual for the older girl. "I have also received a generous grant and stipend and have gained permission to access most of the research laboratory facilities in the biotechnology department of Greater Tekvoria."
