It's Barry. [The correction comes gently but immediately as he motions for one of the employees to bring his new companion a beer along with his coffee refill. He's been called a lot of silly things, but "Mr. Scientist" is new. It's still clearly not his name.
At least she's not too gross about her gawking, actually deigning to keep eye contact with him, only occasionally staring at his long ears or his shaggy fur. For all her very human tendencies, she's... somehow still respectful. Even as she tries to read his notes across the little table.
Something weird happens then. Barry laughs. It's short, quiet, quickly stifled, but that was definitely a tiny little chuckle from deep in his chest.] If it was super top secret, I wouldn't be working on it in a public drinking establishment.
[Big furry hands reach out to tidy his papers then, some covered with notes from his integration classes, some covered with graphs and mathematical formulae. For having such big hands, he sure has teeny tiny neat handwriting.] I'm a physicist. Most of my work is theoretical, but we're workin' on synthesizin' approximations of my findings that has potential for physical testing in th'lab. It's mostly uh, dark matter, if you ever heard of that.
[A pause. Humans tend to ask about things that they themselves want to be asked. Barry is nothing if not a pleaser:] So what's your... field? What do you do?
