<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>~Mari with the group in the Great Hall ~</em><br/><br/>Like Marcus, as soon as they had returned to the group, Marisol had experienced the slight change. If it had been in any other setting, she would have easily brushed it aside. But living in a commune and having her share of experience, Mari knew that <em>any</em> little change could mean something major in the end. Her eyes moved from Nicci to Mila and when she saw Bo speak softly to Nicci...she knew who's mood had shifted.<br/><br/>Having been the 'Mother Hen' on all of her other groups, Mari kept a watchful eye on Nicci. While she smiled and sipped her drink, her glance kept going to the young woman. If Nicci were to look in her eyes, the look in her eyes would say it all: '<em>I'm here if you need to talk.</em>' Mari didn't push, not wanting to overstep her boundaries - after all they had all just met a few minutes ago - but she knew that sometimes when a group with unique personalities was thrown together...emotions could unintentionally be hurt.<br/><br/>Taking another sip of her champagne, she looked at Mila and gave her a fond smile, "You did great dancing." She gave Bo and Vince  both wide smiles as she added teasingly, "I see that we're not going to have a problem with entertainment." She couldn't wait to dance with the other two men, knowing it would be just as exhilarating as her dance with Marcus.</span>
