Lofey Xam moves closer to Maria and places a hand on her forearm.  "Maria, please stay calm.  We have nothing to fear, we will be well served by Ms. Dor and her companions, they come highly recommended.  Perhaps you should get changed and then we can continue the conversation, I'm sure these good people will have other questions for you."<br/><br/>Maria nods in acceptance and with a quick couple of steps, disappears into the bathroom.  When she emerges, she is subdued, she speaks some quiet words to Xam who has lingered near the bathroom door.  The tight, revealing costume she wore on stage has been replaced by a padded kimono, belted tightly at the waist.  Though she is as attractive as ever, there is none of the flaunting, sexual challenge that she gave off before.<br/><br/>Quiet as a church mouse, Maria takes a seat facing the entire crew, with Xam standing behind her.  She looks at you all expectantly, but there seems to be little emotion in her eyes, a striking contrast to the fire that was there when she came off the stage.
