Sophie shakes her head, still speaking quietly.<br/><br/>"I wouldn't place money on it. Besides, even if I could say for certain with a divination to back it up, if I were to strike first, it'd make me the one who started trouble. Best to be ready to react in an instant."<br/><br/>So saying, she slowly looks around the room again, trying to catch the eye of anyone else who looks like they might have adventuring/law-enforcement capacity, such as Quitxi with her barely visible leather armour, and tries to inconspicuously tap the shotgun hanging from her belt, hoping to convey the message across that trouble will likely be starting soon.<br/><br/><em>Kord, my great leader, please lend me some strength. I feel that there will soon be a battle that you will approve of, troublesome people starting something which could endanger innocents, and a few of us wielding your strength and laying some righteous smackdown upon them. Please give me a bit of a boost.</em><br/><br/>If there is time, with no-one deciding to pull a gun or start shouting, Sophie will also casually say "Oh, I think you cut yourself, let me take a look." and take hold of the half-giant's hand, using the contact as a chance to cast the spell again, this time on Sweetwater.<br/><br/>(Damn them for removing Innuendo as a skill in 3.5! Casting<em>Bull's Strength</em>on myself, and<span class="bbc_u">if</span>there's time, on Sweetwater.)
