Kailen (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=677250)<br/><br/>Indeed, Nory's private assessment was correct.  Kailen finds himself concerned with just how well his tailored outfit fit his muscled frame, especially down in the belt region.<em>Better just look away.</em>With an effort, he turns, finding himself face to... well, not face with Linzi.<em>Oh, good.  That'll help.</em>The thought echoes sarcastically in his head as he finds himself confronted with creamy cleavage instead of pink-hued cleavage.  It takes another effort to refocus on her face.  Kailen smiles pleasantly, looking only a little wild-eyed.  "Linzi."  He says in his usual deep voice.  "That's quite the dress.  You look great."<br/><br/>Still, he never would have made it through the last five years as Merryn's padawan if he could not bring his feelings under control.  With an effort, Kailen manages to modulate his breathing, and bring certain, ah, rogue elements to heel before embarrassing himself.  He shoots a grin at Jekin.  "Oh, is that why you're doing it?  Are you sure you're not wearing slippers underneath there.  I always suspected Master Lamar was wearing them under his robes."<br/><br/>Despite his resolution to keep his eyes off of her, Kailen can't help but glance back at Merryn as she comments how new clothes can make one feel different.  It was true enough that his sharp outfit made him feel different.  How, then, did Merryn's beautiful, sensual dress make her feel?  The thought wriggles in the back of his mind, as he is unable to completely banish it.<br/><br/>As the others offer greetings to each other, Kailen shifts, moving his weight from one foot to the other.  It seemed so strange to be talking to familiar people, dressed in such an unfamiliar way.  He brightens at Nory's question to Linzi.  "Oh, yeah.  Will we be leaving soon, then?"  He suddenly felt that being on their way sounded like an excellent idea.  After a quick sidelong glance at Nory, he smiles at her, offering his arm.  "Lady Nory."  He says again, in the same upper class accent he'd used before."
