Talion was pleased that Wavecrest didn't seem to have her station shoved all the way up her ass the way her older sister did.  That would make this easier and more pleasant.  This part, anyway.  "Thank you, Lady Wavecrest.  Your graciousness is appreciated."  Even if it wasn't for quite the reason the young woman might think.<br/><br/>He smiled at the questions the others threw at her.  All good ones, particularly Mouse's.  Get her thinking about leaving herself, not the immediate situation.  Very clever.  "It must be wonderful to have your family all around you," he commented.  "We met Lady Pearl above...how many brothers and sisters do you have here?"  In case things went bad, which they probably would, it might help to know the numbers they might have to deal with.  Once he had that, he could ask further questions.  "Are they all as lovely as you?"
