For the first time in his life, Croft found himself at a loss for words or action for a while as he stared at the spider woman. He watched as she greeted those she knew and apologized to another guest about some past harm. Finally her eyes settled on Croft who finally realized he had been staring the whole time. He stood up simply bursting with energy as he finally found the words.

He raised his arms to the ceiling in a praising fashion and looked up seemingly to the sky. "Praise destiny that I have been blessed with such a wonderful sight!" His gaze settled back to Lila. "Never before have my eyes feasted upon such a beauty such as yourself!" He paced around her inspecting everything he could look at without touching staying close enough to almost be intrusive. "Your legs are so elegant and the way you move with such grace and care! Your hair, so perfect oh I wish I could touch! And y-"

He then caught himself and stepped in front of the lovely woman and gave her a deep bow. "Croft Winston Caswell Halebard, traveler of the world and genius extraordinaire at your service."

How could he in his travels have missed such an extraordinary woman?
