H-387: Little Isle Manor House, Parlour
Two things Lia picks up: First, I think I’ve mentioned it before, but reiterating that Raina has real physical strength – she’s not exerting it and squeezing Lia’s hand in a bone-crusher or anything, but there’s a sense of latent physical power there; second, Raina seems to be quietly enjoying Lia’s touch.
Raina allows the handshake to linger a moment, if Lia will too, “I’ve enjoyed our chat, nextCycle, Lia.”
She allows a hint of a smile at the edges of her mouth and eyes.
She will allow it, is in fact, somewhat distracted, so not really registering that the handshake lasts longer than it should.
“NextCycle.”
She places her other hand over their combined ones and smiles up into Raina’s eyes. There is a sparkle there that indicates she has enjoyed herself. Raina will also be able to smell Lia’s distinctive perfume – peaches and cream with a brandy chaser.
