Placated by her quick, apparently calm reply, the lizard gave her a small, acknowledging bob of the head, then departed. He might be able to smell her concern, but clearly wasn't accustomed to any real sort of guile.<br/><br/>The door swung open and shut at its touch with little effort and even less sound, meaning that she wouldn't have much warning when the creature returned. On the other hand, perhaps this meant that escape would be easier than anticipated. And, despite his warning, a perfectly serviceable sword sat mere feet away from here. Though perhaps it held some sort of enchantment tying it to him, alone. That would, at least, explain the carelessness with which he left it lying around.<br/><br/>Most of Lazerette's wounds scratches and nicks from the night's melee had been tended to and at least cleaned, though the worst injury, the nasty bruise on the back of her head, was still quite inflamed and sensitive. Whoever had seen to her wounds had at least not bothered to figure out how to peel off her clothing: the few small cuts that had marked her body rather than her limbs were apparently untouched.<br/><br/>Her examination was interrupted, however, by the lizard's rather swift return. Between the stealthiness of his own movements and the near-silent swinging of the door, it was a small, hissing vocalization (perhaps the reptilian equivalent of a polite cough ... or a wolf whistle) that heralded his presence rather than any other noise. "The knowledge that I have gained from the handful of outlander guests and prisoners that I have entertained is somewhere incomplete in this area," he admitted, "but I do believe that there is some significance to a female undressing in one's dwellings?" The words had a questioning lilt to them, but they didn't sound as uncertain as their literal meaning might otherwise suggest.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">There and back again</div><div class="spoiler_body">The lizard's sneaky return takes the free invoke of Lazerette's <em>Dazed and Disoriented</em> aspect, for a result of At 2013-03-31 13:42:09, L.

If she beats the stealth roll, you can determine her state of undress, though he returns a little bit too quickly for her to undress, fully inspect herself, and then dress herself again. A tie most likely implies that she's just a bit indecent, while a lower score indicates that he had likely been standing there (or just outside the room) for some time before saying anything.</div></div>
