Zia watches the performance Jax had brought her to, trying to let the energy and enjoyment of the crowd flow through her and become her own; she had a hard time lately looking at the dancing of other performers without looking with a critical eye. Aside from Starflower, Zia was having an increasingly hard time thinking that she could do better than the dancers on the stage. She might have had empathy for those of her house, but Zia felt no familial ties to the common ladies of the night showcasing their wares on stage. Nonetheless, Zia added a whistle of her own to the applause of the crowd.<br/><br/>As they made their way backstage, Zia had followed Jax assuming they would be gathering information about their marks from Jalia. Seeing the bouncer in their way, Zia smirked. "Follow my lead," she whispered to Jax. Her current glamoured outfit made sure to show the valley formed by her hills and they hugged her hips tightly. Seduction would be the last tool in the box for this lock. Lying came first.<br/><br/>With a well practiced saunter, Zia approached the man and gave a smile. "Miss Jalia is expecting us," she said. "We're traveling dancers and she said she could arrange a small gig for us. Just have to speak with her here."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Bluff Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2012-10-08 23:16:29, Zia (uid: 14136) rolls: 1d20a11 Result: 14 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=41501)</div></div><br/><br/>The lie left her mouth before she had a chance to really think it over and adjust her mannerisms. Even as she spoke it, Zia didn't feel as confident in as she should have been. If the bouncer was a chump Zia thought it'd work. If her lie didn't work and Jax couldn't help her salvage it, Zia would try to convince the guard a different way. "We've been sent here by the Phiarlans to speak with her. I'm sure you're familiar with name. It doesn't do either us any good to keep her waiting."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Possible Diplomacy Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2012-10-08 23:34:05, Zia (uid: 14136) rolls: 1d20a11 Result: 30 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=41502)</div></div>
