The Bene Gesserit gave a teasing smile at Eliza when the Heir pretended to not notice her presence.  She was going to make a remark, but noticed that her and Gull were making important talk with trade deals.<br/><br/><strong>"Call us, when you are ready for the <em>festivities</em> to begin Lady Eliza,"</strong>was what Nadira had said to Eliza.  The Swordmaster then gave a small bow and then moved off to the side while motioning Lakshmi to follow suit.<br/><br/>She was about to say something to Lakshmi when Lady Oksana came over and gave the short and blunt "Well," to them.<br/><br/>Nadira got flustered with Oksana's bluntness, but she closed her eyes briefly and spoke softly to Oksana,<strong>"I am doing what I can to protect the House, Lady Oksana.  Lady Lakshmi can agree that one has to be vigilant before letting a stranger into their home."</strong><br/><br/>Nadira nodded  to Lakshmi suggestively to emphasize the point that Lakshmi is their defector to Oksana, and hopefully without anyone else quite noticing it.  She then wrapped her strong arm around Lakshmi's petite waist and held onto her dominantly and sexually.  It was to keep her from running away and to keep on the act of activites to come.
