[QUOTE="LadyLaw, post: 5276735, member: 87417"] Rafftry looks stunned at Karanak's display, and leans forward in his chair as if about to get up, but then thinks better of it and leans back to his former seated position as Karanak reforms into his treeish state. As Thalin follows, he begins to calm, and indeed he seems much relaxed and more amicable by the time the half-elf is finished. Rafftry smiles jovially at Colgrave's magical antics and takes in the brief statements of the other two without a word, although his eyes take on a shining look and his smile widens as Experiment 354B presents himself. He nods to each speaker in turn as they present themselves. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Well met, all of you,"[/COLOR] he says with a grin, taking another sip of his wine.
