[Doctor Mephiston Luciferion Bahl] - [Talking to a group of people]<br/><br/>Mephiston looked quite impressed at Marie's accomplishments, "Amazing, to have such an esteemed lady here.  I feel rather privileged to meet you then, and would love to enjoy any additional performances you care to bring, public or private as it were."<br/>Seeing her move forward to kiss Lilith, Mephiston smiled at her forwardness, wondering what it would do towards bringing Lilith out of herself, when the crushing grip on his hand made him go pale and a faint "Urk!" escaped him.  Evidently she was quite surprised by the gesture, and as the grip loosened, Mephiston was able to notice the state Lilith was in.  He wanted to move to keep her steady, but the vigor in which she returned Marie's affections bade him to hold himself back.  There didn't seem to be any need to interrupt and quite frankly, he was rather into enjoying the entire scene.  Certainly he wouldn't mind seeing the two together again, perhaps in the privacy of his chambers.  The thought was rather tantalizing and Mephiston filed it away for later processing.<br/><br/>Listening to Lilith trying to regain her composure as she explained her expertise and creation, Mephiston felt a surge of sympathy for the woman.  So many desires, so little experience in the methodologies needed to channel them.  Had he been like that once?  Mephiston couldn't remember: so much time had been spent being what was, well, Mephiston.  Patting her hand even as she squeezed his more gently this time, and he was quite grateful for that because it was rather sore, Mephiston nodded along with her words.<br/>"You should already my mind on such a subject, but I will happily reiterate: I am quite content to follow your lead at this time, and a private demonstration would be most appreciated.  Should you care to attend to the demonstration yourself or request the assistance of one of Mr Chang's ladies, I am amenable to either idea.  And I am agreement Thaddeus, the plans can wait while we attend to Miss Lilith."
