<strong>"And then what happened?" </strong>As Michelle continued, Rei forgot her earlier irritation, and really got into the story,  watching with a smile.<br/><br/>"Michelle's quite a talented storyteller...   I wonder if she knows any other stories like this," she thought as<br/>she paid attention, leaning forward even a little bit.   She'd been taught a long time ago - that a master storyteller was something to be treasured,  the princess when she was younger had loved hearing about the old stories when she was growing up.    Someone with the charisma to tell a great story was definitely someone you wanted around.   Rei started losing herself as she listened to Michelle's masterful performance, her smile growing with time.
