Most of them do seem to get the hint, and start eying the noisy mercenaries on the other side of the room instead.<br/>"Forgive them their ill manners." Lorraine says, quietly, to Laurin. "It is not often they meet a lady."<em>* ... well, not often they meet one that they are aware of...</em>As the thought flits through her mind, the corner of Lorraine's mouth twitches for a moment before her features smooth.
