((Your spot tells you two things.  There is a tenseness about the staff, though the other patrons seem to be missing it.  They are glancing at each other, and the watchmen, some look nervous.  The other thing Ithi'ka notices, is the 'statue's silver areas seem instead to be Mythral... and that the 'statue's joints seem to be articulated subtlety.  It's eyes also, though an ebony hue, seem to contain an inner light.))<br/><br/>The Gnome seems to notice Ithi'ka's appreciation, and gives her an immodest leer of a look back in response.  Her act seems to wrap up as several of the men are demanding her to 'prove it!'  This she apparently does with a grin, bringing out a small wand from somewhere about her tight dress, and shrinks the leader of the group down to her size.  The man gets several laughs at his astonished reaction, but seems after a moment's thought to be quite pleased, as he and the Gnome head up the rear spiral staircase.<br/><br/>Hawk grins at Ithi'ka's comment about the statue, and you are certain he's noticed your attention on the Gnome.  He responds to Ithi'ka's comment.  "Classy?  I think so.  She stood in the a man's collection for over a decade, before strangling him with her bare hands and walking out.  Classy."<br/><br/>As he speaks, Ithi'ka senses a slight shift in the room's tension.  As she turns to see the reason, she notices Lady Nightshade descending the staircase.<br/><br/>
