Dancing, conversation, music, riding..."</strong>said and let her voice trail off just slightly on the last word, giving it just the slightest edge to make it seem far more suggestive than it normally would in the small list she'd given. She didn't punctuate it with the sidelong look many would have however, leaving Nicola to wonder if Shey had meant it in the suggestive manner it had sounded, or if it was merely the other woman's hopes and expectations coloring that simple statement.<br/><br/><strong>"Londinium produces a fair number of well trained instructors,"</strong>Shey continued after the briefest of pauses.<strong>"I'm not at all surprised that your father ensured you could dance well. It seems to be the expectation once a daughter becomes a part of a certain socio-economic class, that she'll achieve the ability to perform well at certain things, dancing being one of them. I think between your skills and mine, we'll be the envy of the floor,"</strong>she added with a playful grin as she watched Nicola choose a glass of chardonnay while she chose a dark merlot for herself to sip at. Most of the night she would drink water - it wouldn't do for a Companion to become intoxicated! - but one glass of wine with her client wouldn't harm anything, especially if it helped to put Nicola at ease.<br/><br/>Wanting to give the other woman a chance to speak and shine she requested,<strong>"These are your people, why don't you show me around and tell me who is worth knowing, and who you would be amused to make jealous this evening?"</strong><br/><br/>If she saw any of the crew of the ship she'd just signed on with, no one would know it. Her attention seemed firmly fixed on her partner, though she was actually well aware of those she knew when she passed through their sphere's of attention. Thalia would understand why Shey ignored them all, she just hoped the rest wouldn't disturb her at her work as well!
