6-288: Administration Bureau Executive Conference Facility
He is an attractive man, no doubt about it, and in his presence Lia picks up on that same charisma that she herself projects. Although, whereas I have a sense that Lia’s aura is fundamentally about attraction, and people wanting to be in her space because she makes them feel good, Zayaire’s is about casual power and confidence. For example, he moves as if this party were for him, not the Assistant Secretary.
I don’t envisage the Dominion as a place where men kiss ladies’ hands, but Zayaire does take Winta’s hand and he gives it a firm, yet warm, squeeze.
He responds to her smoke with a big smile, his eyes are subterranean pools where one could get lost forever and never be found.
Without taking his eyes from Winta’s he says, “Aston, you have outdone yourself, this one must have taken pity on your poor soul to agree to be your companion this evening.”
To her he says, “Where are you from? You are not a local, I’m sure.”
Has he released her hand? If not, she will deftly extract it but allow the fingers to linger very briefly as they’re removed.
Her eyebrows lift slightly over the comment to Aston and her gaze is amused but unimpressed.
“Oh no, I’m a traveler. Staying in one place seems so… limiting.”
She shifts closer to Aston and runs her fingers up his arm.
“Aston knows how to tempt me out of my hidey hole.”
She plays with the droplet in her cleavage as she speaks.
Her attention appears entirely on Aston but her body language is screaming sex appeal at Zayaire.
11 vs 18 Sex Appeal. Additional +2 for Voice and another +3 for Charisma = an overall success of 12… 😉
An Acting or Diplomacy roll as well for Aston please.
It’s probably more Acting but what she wants to project to Aston is that she’s his, hence the overt touching. The Acting is probably to conceal what she’s projecting to Zayaire, if that makes sense.
8 vs 13 for Acting.
