'in' with the ambitious first son of the house, a way to come to his attention without being viewed as a potential threat.  Perhaps she might even make a friend... if friendship was even possible in this den of spiders.<br/><br/><em>"Do not get ahead of yourself, Number Six."</em>It was a private telepathic rebuke from the Master, a message for her mind alone, and it was only a combination of her not-inconsiderable acting talents and her own experiences seeing the Illithid's skill at reading people that allowed the tentacled woman to avoid giving a start as she was snapped from her thoughts.  Yes, she had been rather presumptuous just now, a tool trying to decide how it was to be used, rather than anticipating her Master's needs...  Her gaze returned to the floor just in front of the Matron's throne, and she returned her focus to her normal duties, keeping alert and keeping her senses tuned, ready to react in case of danger.<br/><br/>After this meeting was over, she would prepare for a trip into the city.  Whatever Matron Auvyrahel's purpose was for calling them all together, the Master would undoubtedly wish her to make contact with his cult today.
