Ekaterina Utkin never wanted to be an archaeologist. It was a dirty, tacky profession for old men and future single mothers.
But things change. Well, her determination not to become an archaeologist hadn't diminished, and neither did her distaste for the subject.
However, here Ekaterina was, in An Introduction to Deep Space Archaeology, listening to an old man drone on and on about the Byzantium and Alfava Metraxis.
Granted, listening was probably too strong a term. In actuality, she was staring across the room at once of her classmates, a small smile on her lips.
She was staring at one of the older students, a woman with a fabulous head of curly blond hair. Unfortunately, the woman was not smiling back. Instead, she was taking notes, actually listening to the lecture.
Out of all the things Ekaterina has seen at Luna University, this is one of the strangest. The woman has no particular interest in Archaeology, it seems, but she still pursues it with a fiery determination.
The woman looked up, catching Ekaterina's eye with a stunning grin. Ekaterina blushes fiercely, and looks quickly down to her notepad.
