Message: <blockquote data-quote="izillama" data-source="post: 5062119" data-attributes="member: 79171">Clover mouthed something not-too-nice at Lacey's back but decided not to let it get to her. What did she mean that she would never have any real power over her? Did Lacey know that she was trying to mesmerize her? Why would it work on Koln (though it hadn't this time, oddly) and not Lacey?As she pondered this, footsteps suddenly diverted her attention back towards the roadway as a man stepped out of the shadows. Clover found herself drawing an unusable breath as she sized the man (whom she presumed to be Emerson) up, 'Mm... tall... blonde... impeccable fashion sense. Hm... what a lovely piece of eye-candy.'As he drew nearer, though, she saw that he wasn't half the piece of smexiful man that she had hoped, and she felt her face drop into an involuntary, disappointed frown, 'Eh... ugly... Oh well.'Then he spoke: His voice the well-oiled machine gun precision Clover had heard men at her father's bank use dozens of times, "Good evening. To what do I owe the pleasure of such company? And I hope you all have a good reason because I'll have you know that I don't take kindly to people trespassing on my property."Immediately, Clover felt on the defensive. Emerson exuded an air of authority that even she herself didn't think she could match. And his words were definitely offensive... no question there.She felt a quick pang of fear for her friends' safety but make sure to not let it show. Clover let her face relax into the well-rehearsed mask she would always use during debate: Enough to show calm and control, but not giving away any emotion.She returned Emerson's bow (how cute!) with a curt nod of her head and drew herself up to her full height (not much), "Good evening, Master Emerson. What an honor it is to make your acquaintance." Cautious yet confident, she strode forward and extended her hand to shake his in the universal gesture of business etiquette. Though short in comparison, she kept her head inclined to lock eyes with him.(btw no, even Clover's not dumb enough to try and Command him)Sense Motive on Emerson!   <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2378246/" target="_blank">1d20+5 → [16,5] = (21)</a>(btw #2, I'm sorry for such long posts! It's been a dry spell for me in the game lately, lol)</blockquote>
