Turning from him for a moment, she looked to the trio of women that approached her, and smiled as the oldest blushed and fumbled over her words just trying to get them out. Her expression was one of measured amusement, but encouraging rather than mocking, and she returned the woman's flustered gaze with a look that almost said '<em>go on, no need to hurry through the praise</em>'. Sparrow waited until the woman successfully finished speaking before actually responding, however... but couldn't resist a little teasing. "I trusted I would be taken care of when I arrived, so I traveled light. Everything I brought is with me now. So unless you're in a hurry to take any of this off me..." She toyed idly with the ribbon around her chest as she spoke, and paused a moment to let the implications sink in the poor woman's head, before finishing her sentence, "I appreciate the offer, but I think I can manage. Perhaps you can show me to my quarters once we're done with introductions?"<br/><br/>Her eyes lingered on the woman's face a moment just to enjoy her reaction before the firm voice of the man who could only be their host cut through the scene. Her smile remained as she turned to face him, but her expression shifted subtle: less teasing but still enticing, more serious but just as warm. Sparrow gave a bow just as Towering Oak did, a brief but practiced gesture that showed off her alluring form and refinement in one smooth motion. Then, she turned back to the man who had first caught her attention, and let him take her hand. "I am Singing Sparrow, courtesan of the White Rose, and your personal companion for this occasion." She said to Towering Oak, her voice harmonious as any song. "I<em>do</em>hope you'll enjoy my company as much as I'm enjoying yours."<br/><br/>Sparrow had only just arrived, and she was already having so much fun. A little too much fun, perhaps? She'd let Oak and Baral be the judges of that. So far, they hardly seemed sticks in the mud. Still, she had more on the mind than fun. This wasn't just any other job, that much she could tell. And so she glanced back to Sesus Baral, the simple curiosity in her voice a convenient cover for any deeper reason for her interest.<br/><br/>"Though, now that I mention it... it is unusual for one to purchase my services for another, much less without their knowledge. Tell me, what<em>is</em>the occasion? Has Towering Oak here secretly accomplished some great deed to be rewarded with the pleasure of my company?" Sparrow didn't expect a straight or honest answer, but she watched Baral's face closely for any hints he didn't mean to let on. If there was indeed something going on beneath the surface of these events, she intended to find out.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body"><del>I'm intending to use a Read Intentions action on Sesus Baral to learn more about why he wanted Sparrow here, if I can... but I'm inexperienced with the social system so I'll ask in the OOC thread and edit this later if I need to.</del> My intent is to spend 4 Peripheral motes on the Socialize Excellency to conserve Personal motes without flaring her anima.<br/><br/>I'll be using the Socialize roll to figure out what he wants from Sparrow in this scene, as discussed OOC.
