Anastasia watches Salinas struggle with the Gothic language but does not look upon her sourly like the other nobles had, in fact the frown that momentarily crossed her fine features hinted that she even had some sympathy for the woman.  ‘ I suppose she must still be new to it all, more so that her papers even suggested. I’ll find someone to teach her Gothic more fully, maybe my daughter…’ She thought to herself as the foreign woman struggled to construct a sentence with using more than the most basic grammatical rules of the Imperial language. Eventually Salinas does finish the hard won battle and for the most part Anastasia seems to understand what she meant, a charming smile still splitting her features. “You will find that there are many different groups and subgroups that make up the Imperium. For your own sanity I recommend a young, inexperienced woman like yourself stay away from the dizzying variety of religious sub-cults until then.” A small wink accompanied her rather true words, after all there were so many ways to worship the Emperor that it started wars with the same fervor a full Chaos invasion would have, even if only on a smaller scale.<br/><br/>Ana  was glad to see most of Salina’s nervousness break at that point, even going so far as to joke in the presence of her Lord Captain! Of course the Rogue Trader found it endearing, dipping her head at the comment and laughing as she did so. “ Oh I cannot have you bringing me food, Salinas. That simply would not do , you would put my waiting staff out of work if what I read about your work ethic is only half-true.” It never hurt to bathe people in compliments, especially those struggling to find confidence in new surroundings, and especially as endearingly naïve as Salinas was to Ana.<br/><br/>Of course Veche never failed to be entertaining it seemed. How he spoke so eloquently , in such a fashion that clearly defied his heritage intrigued Anastasia but she knew better to ask questions, especially when part of his background was sealed with an Inquisitorial rosette attached to it ( =][=). The man was clearly much more than met the eye and had a background that she wasn’t entirely privy to and that unnerved her despite his good nature. If he found out the true matter of things aboard the vessel things could go quite wrong but by his nature he was simply too good ofa recruit to pass up for the role of Arch-Militant aboard the Fair Lady. He even seemed to know the role of what he was being hired for long before Ana had briefed him on it, all the better. “ Do not worry. You are both set to attend along with my daughter and the Master of Aetherics aboard the vessel. The Magos-Explorator aboard the ship may also deign it polite to show her face one of these days to you both.” The statement was spoken with more humor than ill intent, only fueled on by the Dusker asking the young ferl worlder if he could sit next to her.<br/><br/>“ We’ll depart for it soon, it’s almost time to turn away the guests.”<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
