Sharon felt Alister's lips leave a spot of dampness on her hand before she pulled it away.  She jumped at the sudden music and lights, and she saw the gargoyles she hadn't noticed before.  They had always creeped her out.  She laughed nervously at herself, as she tried to play off being scared like a child.<br/><br/>"It's nice to meet you all," she said, "Allister, Peter, Miranda," she nodded and raised a glass of wine that seemed to come from nowhere.  "Shall we then?" she asked as she started to head for the stairs.  She thought it might at least be a bit warmer there than down in the entrance hall.
