<em>~ Mila with Nicci, Marcus, Vince, and Angus in the Great Hall ~</em><br/><br/>Mila turned her attention to the man who had entered the room, and her breath caught.  He was handsome, debonair.  He moved as if he owned the place, with complete self-assuredness.  She found herself drawn to him, and her eyes tracked him as he walked to Angus.  When he turned to approach Nicci and her, she lowered her eyes a little, feeling suddenly bashful.  This was one of the men who would be part of the experiment.  Her heart raced as Nicci introduced them, and she realized she should say something too.<br/><br/>She looked up and smiled at him, and as she was about to open her mouth, another man walked into the room.  This one was younger than the first; he looked to be about her own age.  His looks were not as classically handsome, but he had a more rugged, dangerous look to him.  Her lips curved into a small smile.  She liked how different everyone seemed to be.<br/><br/>She looked up in surprise as the second man greeted Angus.  He seemed to know the estate manager already, and she wondered how.  And then he turned to them, introducing himself to Marcus first.<em>Vince.... or Tool?</em>She wondered at the nickname; surely there would be quite a story behind it!  When he turned to her and Nicci, she tried to emulate the other woman's ease and looked at him, smiling softly.  "I'm Mila, and this is Nicci," she said, her voice a little shaky from nerves.
