Lafiel let Kanae go first, picking up the SMG she had along the way.  She just kept it on her shoulder, only one hand on the gun, ready to bring it up...the reminder of a time living in the Verge where she had answered the door and nearly gotten a faceful of shot for her troubles.  That had been the incident that precipitated her search for a new place to live, which was how she ended up in Tarislar.  When the door did not explode in fire, she carefully slipped the weapon back onto the ground, behind the couch.<br/><br/>She came around the couch, her hand extending to the newly introduced Ashley.  "Hello.  It's good to meet you, too."  A smile.  "So, can you tell me how you know Kanae?  I'm pretty sure that if she hadn't told you already, you'd have figured out how we got introduced to begin with."  She looked rather professional, the elf noted, like a corporate secretary or something like that.
