The man was over the top and extreme - this was such a small thing, and it was acceptable with other people, that she bit her tongue and allowed it to happen. If only Jahosafat had elected to do the same - she was simultaneously bored and irritated with his speech. She doubted he'd be able to keep his trap shut for sixty seconds and figured that Anisa had similar doubts. Otherwise, it never would have been that large a sum of money. 

	Dorothy was about to offer to double the sum if he agreed to go two minutes, when Anisa began introductions with the newcomers. And surprise surprise, it was enough to get Jahosafat to start up again, ending his speech with a phrase Dorothy had never heard before. She figured it was just another one of his Core World Alliance shenanigans. [color=4dffa6]"Dorothy,"[/color] she introduced herself. 

	Fitz was blinking rapidly, trying to comprehend the situation. Why had money been removed from the table when the man gave an introduction? He had never gambled before, but he didn't know there were rules involving speaking. If the object was to never speak, then this would be a game he could excel at - his stutter and social anxiety made that easy. He nearly swallowed his own tongue when Jacqueline urged him forward. [color=8882be]"H-Hello...Dr. T-T-Townsley, engineering,"[/color] Fitz introduced himself. His eyes widened a bit with eager recognition as he noticed Daphne. Was this her crew, then? Either way, it didn't matter. It was another familiar face - it only could've gotten better if Royus was there.
