Danny doesn't understand why Mac forces him to go to these conferences. He's all for continuing education and higher learning and getting the most out of the guest speakers to get better at his job, but he has to go every year, and he thinks he's pretty damn good at his job already. Aiden's with him this year, at least, and Danny knows he's in for three days of dirty jokes and secret bemused glances.

He especially dislikes how useless the information given at the seminars seems to be. Who honestly needs to know about the striations of toenails anyway? He's only heard of that being important in a couple of cases, and he wasn't even involved. He makes notes anyway though, and tries to ignore Aiden's doodling beside him. He'll have to call her on that later.

Then rather suddenly, someone taps Danny on the shoulder from behind and he jumps despite himself, turning around in his seat and glancing up. He tries not to stare, but the guy behind him is adorable -- all big brown eyes and shaggy hair and it takes a few moments for Danny to realise the guy asked him a question.

"Pardon?" Danny asks, maybe a little too loud, because several surrounding people turn to glare at him. The guy repeats himself quietly, blushing faintly at the glares.

"My pen ran out. Do you have an extra one?" Danny's fargone before he even registers the question, melting down into his seat and staring rather obviously. He hands his pen to the guy without thinking and, turning around quickly to hide the blush that's threatening to creep up his ears, Danny internally chastises himself for acting like such a teenager. He grabs Aiden's pen out of her hand mid-squiggle and earns a glare, but he's far past caring and doesn't even react when she kicks him in the shin.

At the end of the seminar, Danny's pen drops in his lap with a little note attached and he turns around, but the guy's already leaving and doesn't look back. Aiden raises an eyebrow and snatches the note, opening it before Danny can protest.

"Room 1049 at seven. - Ryan," she reads, and Danny rolls his eyes when she puts on that familiar smirk coupled with an expression of mock-surprise. "Got a hot date, Danny? Jeez, that pen isn't that nice."

Danny grabs the note back and shoves it in his pants, then reaches for his briefcase under his seat and stands up. Aiden follows suit, still smirking, and Danny can only imagine what's going through her head right now. He rolls his eyes for a second time and slides past Aiden, sarcastically saying his goodbyes before heading to the hotel elevators. The truth is he's completely surprised about all this and he never expected he'd actually meet someone at one of these dumb conferences. But he's also somewhat excited because he hasn't done something like this for a long, long time, and as he steps off the elevator on his floor, he wonders how he survived being single for so long.

It's going to be a long afternoon.
