She caught Jack's smile and returned a distracted one, finally giving up when she saw him move through the room. He'd evidently gotten more out of his spell than she had, but at least she knew now that nobody in the room wanted to kill her. The rest would have to just fall into place. Hopefully there wasn't actually something in the liquor, else that place might be a bad one.<br/><br/>A faint knocking sounded at the door, and Kamala looked around for a confused moment before standing and walking in that direction. Jack was occupied, and the others didn't seem to have heard it, but she had been expecting more arrivals. Only so many people had fit in the elevator, after all. But before she could reach the door, it lurched open to reveal Chan and a chattering Kurt. She stepped aside to let them pass her, and surreptitiously moved to close the door. All this scrutiny wouldn't be good for much if they missed something so obvious. She slid the deadbolt into place for good measure.<br/><br/>Then Jack did something that made her Eye go crooked, and she watched him work the ward, though she'd never seen anything like it before. With a quiet<em>heh</em>, she shook her head and reclaimed her armrest. Kamala was beginning to feel out of her league. Still, nothing much had happened except for some strange conversations, and she was beginning to feel like Ganesha had been a little over-worried. "So, I may sound a little ignorant here, but why are we all gathered together like this? Some of you are obviously here for a reason, and I only got tempting little tidbits before. To be honest, I'm not really much for mystery novels." Her eyes focused on Kurt and she wrinkled her nose in a faux grimace. She added, "I like to have these things spelled out for me."
