[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 5820379, member: 88649"] [b]Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple[/b] Nodding in response to Ben's appraisal, Cythera only says, [COLOR=Orange]"Not to worry, Ben. She is not worthy of your ire, nor up to my level of expertise. Put her out of your mind."[/COLOR] Cythera fails to notice the older gentleman trying to catch their attention. Steering Ben through the crowd of merchants and other nobles, she engages in some meaningless conversation and exchanges of pleasantries for about 15 minutes as they make a circuit of the guests. They pay no attention to Furros, preferring that he stew as Cythera assumes an attitude that he doesn't even exist and is not worthy of their time. Finally, she and Ben are standing near Emi, a mostly untouched goblet of wine in her hand. Catching the Dame's eye, she remarks, [COLOR=Orange]"Well, milady, this is quite the party you have going here[/COLOR][COLOR=Orange]."[/COLOR] [sblock=OOC][URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3375964/"]Sense Motive (1d20+6=9)[/URL] - Oops.
