H-193: Captree, Platters on The Esplanade
Thunderstorm
I am pretty pleased with the way that pic turned out – thank you.
Platters on The Esplanade
Lia’s empathic appraisal: Ruthless but not without warmth; an ability to laugh beneath a stern facade; an assessing intelligence behind sometimes superficial simplicity and directness.
Raina appraises Lia in equal measure. When she returns the handshake, the grip is firm, hand warm and strong – there’s real physical strength there – but it’s well controlled.
If you wish, you may roll on one of Body Language, Erotic Art or Brawling.
“Quite a resumé, ” Raina says of Cinna’s introduction, “you seem to have a range of talents.”
It’s an invitation to elaborate.
Good lord, that’s quite the range of skill choices! Can you give me any reason she would think to use Erotic Art or Brawling in this moment?
Raina’s hand will now smell faintly of Lia’s perfume.
Lia’s eyes are bright and interested.
“I find it pays not to limit my opportunities. You never quite know which one will lead to something greater.”
A beat.
“Or more interesting.”
She crosses her legs, the material of her skirt rustling quietly.
