Miss Carmichael tales her seat by Lord Blackthorn, keeping her hat on even at the dinner table.  She inspects the chosen wine for the evening as her host speaks, taking in its aroma, sampling a sip as soon as Blackthorn finishes speaking.  When no one else rises to introduce themselves, she decides it must be her turn and stands.<strong>"I am Celecia Carmichael, professor of alchemy and medicine at the academy.  It is a pleasure to meet you all."</strong><br/><br/>Her simple, professional introduction out of the way, she sits back down and listens.  Or at least looks like it.
