[Doctor Mephiston Luciferion Bahl] - [At the bar] - [Talking to Lilith]<br/><br/>Listening intently to Lilith, Mephiston tapped his chin as he pondered her words, "You say it lacks something?  Something that mechanical constructs can't provide?  An intriguing problem, certainly warranting investigation."<br/>Mephiston himself wasn't sure what it could be that Lilith was missing.  Certainly she had seemed rather responsive to him earlier, when she hadn't been reminded of their activity.  Regardless, Mephiston was more than ready to aid Lilith at pinpointing the missing element.<br/>"And rest assured that I would be delighted to serve as an escort for you.  It would be unkind of me to leave you alone after you have professed difficulties with social encounters.  Let us enjoy ourselves then!  A glass of champagne to mark the beginning of a wonderful association, and something later into the evening to put a capstone to the day," Mephiston finished with a saucy wink.<br/><br/>Observing the room, Mephiston made note of the various personages inside.<br/>"As it stands, you have quite the selection of potential conversations.  The current bartender seems rather unengaged, if you prefer to start with smaller groupings.  The waitress appears busy with her work but I expect she'd be free for some conversation.  Lee Chang, the esteemed inventor and owner of the Pleasure Dome himself, has attracted some company, someone I'm not sure I recognize."  Hearing Lee Chang's introduction of Thaddeus, Mephiston's curiosity was piqued, and he tilted his head in some thought. "Hmm, a name I think I should recognize, but perhaps that is just me.  Regardless, I trust that Lee has impeccable manners, and would be sure to make you feel at ease.  The company around him is rather varied, but the experience I think would be rather valuable and an opportunity such as this may not come up often.  I think the man who checked us in, Tom I think his name was, appears to be<em>occupied</em>with a woman, but perhaps observing him could provide some inspiration.  I, of course, am happy simply to follow after you as it were."<br/><br/>Holding out an arm so that Lilith could link arms with him, Mephiston smiled and motioned to the room.<br/>"At your direction m'lady."
