Eilidh watched Vanessa with a bemused, eyebrow-raised expression. Did women greet other women in this manner in Varjo? How odd. To Eilidh, this was known as a greeting a gentleman gave a lady, but then again, on the plains and grasslands, among the Centaur tribes, a greeting was incoherent shouting and some smacks on their collarbone to show their superiority, so it's not as if she could judge other culture's greetings too harshly. Speaking of Vanessa's culture, she then started to go into more detail about who she was, and Eilidh listened. So she'd started human and had become a Ghost after being killed? Was...was that how Ghosts worked?

Bast then introduced himself to Vanessa, and made pleasant chatter, which Eilidh listened to intently as strong feelings of many different kinds welled within her. She'd deny to herself that she was jealous, but she'd be lying. They were very similar and clearly compatible. Bast even said as much. It just served to remind Eilidh how un-Ladylike she was, with her build, warrior ways, and traditional Centaur garb (There weren't many dressmakers who could create an XXL Lady's dress sturdy enough to survive a muscle-flexing, with enough chest girth to hide a medium-sized dog, and still have it look somewhat dignified). 

It was therefore surprising when Bast bid Vanessa good day and approached her! Vanessa would able to observe the way that Eilidh was blushing and pausing the same way diplomats do when asked a difficult question. She would pause in this way no matter what Bast said. The signs were not 'easy to read'. The signs were fighting to see who could push themselves into everybody's face the most painfully.

[color=9B1436]"No, no!"[/color] Replied Eilidh hurriedly. [color=9B1436]"I wasn't much help when the intruders came either! When I returned to the Guildhouse, the battle was essentially over. But,...it's true we haven't been around each other these past few days. Of course I shall accompany you!"[/color]
