Andrea smirked and rolled her eyes as Josh joked, ignoring the foam covering his upper lip. She gave up on licking her own lips to alert him, and decided instead just to enjoy his obliviousness. On some level Andrea always felt glee when a colleague or professional competitor was made to look foolish - she supposed it was a character flaw, but it was definitely one she could life with.<br/><br/>"So Josh," she said, keeping her voice completely serious and looking the man in the eye, "That was quite a presentation you gave today. You really are a talented speaker." Andrea's long, delicate fingers cupped her own chin, her elbow on the table. She was absolutely stone-faced, determined not to alert Josh to his foamy facial hair.<br/><br/>"Don't you agree, Kate?" Andrea asked, turning her gaze to the brunette, "Wasn't the presentation absolutely riveting? Didn't it remind you of why you got into the field in the first place?"<br/><br/>Andrea sipped her drink slowly, making it last. Her two longest fingers twitched compulsively, a habit she hadn't been able to leave behind since she quit smoking years ago. Any time she was drinking or in a bar she felt it should be accompanied by a cigarette - and her fingers still longed to hold one.<br/><br/>"Although, Josh, I personally was hoping for a bit more about the Queen herself. She's such a fascinating figure, I can't get enough of her - although I suppose the lives of those who served her are interesting as well, to a point." Andrea removed her dark jacket without making a show of it, leaving it on the back of her chair. Josh was right - the place was quite warm. She subtly undid the top button of her white blouse, wishing the place would turn on the air conditioning.
