She was not a naturally sociable creature, and venturing out in pursuit of companionship with somewhat alien to her. Sure, occasionally she attempted it, even going as far as purchasing dresses made out of fragile materials that wouldn't stand up to a magical laboratory. Those attempts seldom ended well, the gaily dressed young butterflies in fields of flowers frequently mentioning that Alwyn seemed too stiff and formal. A certain amount of uncomfortableness amongst strange people and loud noises was not conducive to forming connections. No one of a higher social class or power had approached her yet... At least, not of the right gender. And there was no way the mage would possibly dream of accepting any sort of extra payment for her discounted magical services to women in need... That was highly unethical and against the point of helping people. Alwyn would not describe herself as lonely, exactly, but she did have desires of her own.  So when the goblin woman posed slightly, the mage did indeed examine her with more than just academic curiosity. But as always politeness and basic decency ruled the day, so she did nothing further.<br/><br/>The human used a fork and a knife on her own food, of course. But she didn't hesitate to eat from the same tray that Kieri had grabbed from. Yes, she ate less meat than the goblin did, but to balance that the human seemed to have an inordinate fondness for cheese.<br/><br/>"Yes, I hear that you are already making quite a bit of progress towards unifying the people of the slums and giving them a good goal to work for." She frowned slightly, thinking of other people making a name for themselves in the poor part of town. "Without, as far as I can tell, any sort of strings about violence or being told what to believe. That is good."<br/><br/>Gesturing to the baskets, she nodded. "Please, I would be honored if you took the remaining food with you. I am happy to share. "<br/><br/>Adjusting her glasses, the mage pondered, then shook her head. "No. Not just support you. Nor to work for you..."<em>Although, in the bedroom... Maybe.</em>"But I believe that I would like to work with you. In addition, I propose that joining in alliance with other like minded individuals would be good, as well. The sooner we can remove Red from the throne, the better off everyone will be. I suggest Niles and Selevahn, I have made basic contact and they seem agreeable, and not bigoted. What do you think, Kieri?"
