<strong>Nadira</strong>, Lakshmi allows you to guide her forward without a word of protest. She's not happy--that much is clear--but it is not until she comes into full view of the room that anything out of the ordinary happens. Specifically, Eliza's presence seems to frighten her. Or perhaps intimidates her? For a moment it seems she might balk, or bolt, or possibly try to hide behind you.<br/><br/>As for Gull, Martin, and the others, they might as well be potatoes for all the response their presence gets from the girl. That may be because Eliza is here...<br/><br/><strong>Martin</strong>, you have your pick of subjects to subtly interrogate, if you wish to cut someone out of the crowd and chat with them. Most of the visiting party are slow to relax, but once they do the delights set before them are eagerly sampled. It is not until your colleague and the little Bene Gesserit acolyte emerge, clad in nothing but their underwear, that anything changes.<br/><br/><strong>Eliza</strong>, there is no escaping the arrival of your dear friend and swordmistress, let alone the shy, blushing, creature beside her. The girl barely notices you before her blush redoubles and she seems to freeze for a moment before very slowly drawing herself up to her full height (such as it is) and proudly tilting her chin as if daring you to look at her. Beside you, Gull prattles on as if he hasn't noticed a thing...then again, Lady Oksana has engaged him in a discussion about something completely different.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">update?</div><div class="spoiler_body">Pending Eliza's roll!</div></div>
