Danny was having one of those days, where everything and anything that could go wrong had gone wrong. He'd gotten his schedule mixed up for the day and had ended up showing up at Khasekhemwy's house hours too early, nearly missing an important house call with Dr. Gupta in the process. At the clinic, he'd managed to spray himself with a chemical that, while harmless, made him terribly sticky and had him squirming miserably for the rest of the afternoon but, worst of all, his sketchbook of herbs he was studying was also sticky and some of the words had blurred. They were still legible, barely, but Dr. Gupta had advised him to redraw what he could in case the substance darkened over time. He'd have to stay up late to redraw them, and drawing was his least favorite portion of his classes in the first place. If only he'd gotten skills like Renn's! Feeling uncharacteristically grumpy, Danny slammed into the apartment. He'd managed to wash most of the sticky stuff off his face and hands, but his hair still stood on end where he'd run his fingers through it in frustration. His bag followed with a loud thump in the middle of the floor, while Solarius - deciding to stay out of it for the time being - settled himself in front of the fireplace. They both jumped, Danny squawking a bit in surprise, as Renn suddenly appeared in the doorway from her room. Instantly, Danny grinned, his whole mood brightening. Flynn was great, and Dylan was his twin (which came with a lot of good and not-so-good things), but Renn was... special. And lately? Lately she'd seemed so much brighter, and happier, than she had in a long time, and that joy instantly rubbed off on the people around her, her family in particular.

"Sure!" he said instantly, always eager to spend time with his only sister. He trotted over to her and blinked at the array of sketches spread around her room. Instantly, a tinge of envy - mixed with pride for his sister and awe at her talent - filled him. "Whoa, you've been really busy!"

"I wanna see!" Sol announced from the other room, nearly knocking Danny over in his eagerness.
