Britney gave Jane a slight smile, glad she was being patient with her, and not trying to rush her, explaining the things she knew in a non-patronizing way, the same as Jean had.  Jane seemed relaxed enough, so Britney decided to take her cue from her, and try not to be so nervous.  She was glad Jean wasn't making a big production out of explaining things to them, but kept his voice low enough to be heard without having to concentrate on him amid the other conversations going on around them.  It didn't bother her that anyone close enough would hear them, and even if they weren't, everyone would still be able to tell that she and Jane were new, and that she herself definitely didn't know much of what went on in places like this.<br/><br/>She'd never heard of Shibari before, but guessed it was a concept invented by the Japanese, given the name.  "That might be something to see, eventually," she said, curious to find out about the technique, but secretly doubting whether she'd find someone tied up with a bunch of rope all that mesmerizing.<br/><br/>Her eyes widened at hearing how expensive a lot of dominants who took pictures were, studying the room with its occupants and their advertising briefly in passing, but not lingering.  "For one thing, there's no way I could afford prices like that, and paying someone just to humiliate me doesn't sound like anything I want," she said when they'd left the room behind them.  The next room seemed more her type of atmosphere, simply people introducing themselves and getting to know each other, though she couldn't back the bemused smirk at hearing the name for this type of gathering.  She supposed calling it a munch was shorter, but that term only made her think of food, when it would have been just as quick to say it was a meet and greet setting, like Jane had called it.  She wasn't sure if the term might be a euphamism for something, but didn't press Jean to explain the reasoning behind why that particular term was chosen.<br/><br/>She offered Jean a smile as he left them to get to know some of the other people here, tightening her grip slightly on Jane's hand as she turned to offer a shy smile to the room as a whole.  She glanced around, where she should sit or who to talk to first, but guessed Jane and her more outgoing and take charge nature wouldn't have trouble finding someone to converse with, and by extension she would benefit from.
