Paul’s favorite part of science had always been experimentation.

Puzzling out new things had intrigued him long before he discovered mycology.

It was the scientific method that did it – you put something in, and you got something out.

Sometimes, you got what you expected. Other times, not so much.

That unpredictability was the fun of it.

And tonight, as Hugh made that particular sound, Paul grinned with the thrill of a new discovery.

Of course, he’d have to test his hypothesis several more times to be sure it was sound, but somehow he didn’t think that would be a problem.
