As Kolhu brought the sodden maid from the rocks, Verdant did not portray any definitive notice, as though the act was expected. It was easy to conceal ones own thoughts within the bearing of the soldier, they were not supposed to have thoughts.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">3 successes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Discretely though, a purpling blush can be seen creeping up behind her ears as the sheer nature of the dress offers a bit more than a modest glance.</div></div>Things were looking up. They were social enough to talk, intelligent enough to bide their time, confident enough to enter her camp under at least the pretense of peace, and crafty enough to try to leave proper support behind. If this all worked out, they could make very valuable members. If not... well, they would not be the first.<br/><br/>Stepping aside she directed those following her to a series of benches, military processing, able to seat around forty, with a small table surrounded by chairs for eight at the front. "Captain, if you will take a seat with your staff how you will. I do ask that you place your weapons on the table as they will not be needed in the wellness check. I and my staff will review your health while you have refreshments for a few moments. This will allow us to return to your ships, undergo your health inspection and complete the wellness check with your crew. Please forgive the militaristic coldness of the interview, but I find that their objective is expedience. It is the bureaucrat who causes delays." With a wave, she directs the M*A*S*H* unit forward taking liaison duty between their guests and their hosts. Another wave brought fresh water, bread, cheese and sliced vegetables for the table, to be dispersed as the Captain saw fit. If the guests saw to huddle at the table that would be fine, as three at a time each would be drawn a few feet away for their in-full-view inspection. A curtain would be offered for modesty's sake, or a private room to the side.
