Kel'Afien felt the tingling feeling of Lolth's pleasure at the sacrifice surge through his body, a particular sensation of being stroked across the shoulders as the victim died.  He did sense the Yochlol's presence even while she watched from her balcony; and the sensation got stronger as she teleported herself down to the fane itself amongst the priestesses.  The other female drow immediately parted way to allow Xhyri to pass by them, greeting her with upmost respect.  As she saundered closer to him she'd see that he was wearing a shadow-spider silken cloak lined with navy blue webbing that gleamed with a silvery hue as the faerie fire effects around the air illuminated it.  Kel'Afien had well-groomed shoulder length hand and was very well-built and tall for a male drow; as he turned to face her.<br/><br/>He did have intense pale green eyes that displayed full confidence in himself in line with how he carried himself. Respectfully deferring to the females still but held his own ground as he should; he behaved as he should for a powerful male.  His black breastplate armor limned with ornate spidery designs across it as his cloak flared out some as he turned to face Xhyri.  Of course; he'd bow in respect to her position as higher rank than himself, even as a chosen/Lolth-touched.   Feeling another surge of pleasure at her seeming pleased response to the sacrifice.<br/><br/>Kel'Afien handed the sacrificial dagger back to the high priestess and allowed the Yochlol to read his surface thoughts, understanding how it worked.<br/><br/><strong><em>"A pleasure to see such a beautiful servant of the Spider Queen here.  I pray you enjoyed the ceremony of sacrifice?" </em> </strong>Kel'Afien responded to her quietly. His "mental" voice contained no fear of her at all; just respect; smooth and confident he was very sure of himself.
