Sensing that the loud giant was not likely going to prove at all interesting, nor take her up on the freely offered future assistance, Sekhmet retreats with her goblet of wine and cocks an ear to listen to this year's welcoming speech.  She chokes back a wry laugh when it proved to be even shorter and matter of fact than the one she'd heard previously.<br/><br/>As Commander Steeleye mentioned the conditions for the first exercise, she sips her wine and turns to survey the press, intent on finding that silly sword-bearer and her delicious charge.  The little princess fancies herself good enough to be here.  Time to see if she'll prove to have half the mettle of her kinswoman.  Will she reach out?  Or will she have to be forced?<br/><br/><em><strong>Ah.  And there she is, all but quivering in the shadow of her designated chaperon, talking to that little Blue in the corner.  That's one of two other houses down at least.</strong></em><br/><br/>Sekhmet remains aloof for now, watching and studying the others, eyes sparkling with mischief and wit as they linger on the little princess with her fancy clothes and her dainty manners.  While she will claim to be probing for weaknesses if asked, it is no great chore to regard...ah, yes.  That must be Her Graceful Excellency, Lady Elinor.  A most<em>vulnerable</em>blossom indeed.  And Sekhmet smiles to herself.<br/><br/><em><strong>What are you going to do about this, little princess?  You must needs approach one of my kind or kin.</strong></em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Roll +Wit</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: MadPanda rolled: 2d6, adding 1 to the total<br/>Comment: Figure Someone Out<br/>Result: 6, 2,<br/>Total: <strong>9</strong></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Figure Out a Person</div><div class="spoiler_body">When you try to understand a person, Roll +Wit (if you spend a String on them, add 3 more)<br/>10+: You may ask 2 questions from the list below, now or later in the scene.<br/>7-9: You may ask 2 questions from the list below, but they may ask 1 of you.<br/>● What are your feelings towards _____?<br/>● What do you hope to get from _____?<br/>● How could I get you to _____?<br/>● What do you love most?</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Result</div><div class="spoiler_body">I get to hold 2 questions from the list for this scene, and in return Elinor will get to ask one of those questions of me.</div></div>
