Isabelle finds herself facing another Zaldarian and can't help but draw comparisons. Whereas Solarel had been a whirlwind of energy and activity from the moment she came charging up that shuttle ramp, Quar is reserved - resigned? - restrained? She's also a bit taller than the other alien.

One of the Isabelles at the back of her mind starts to wonder aloud how they would compare when wearing booty shorts, before being quickly shushed down by the rest of the collective.

After all, there are far more pressing matters to consider. Matters like:

- Should we be using a finer rope than this smart-cable? It's a bit industrial. 
- Do we really not have any nice braided cords or tassely things to use, I mean, really?
- Is it better to tie it more tightly, and loop more around her wrists, to show that we respect her strength?
- Or is it better to tie it more loosely, to show that we mean her no harm? Or is that disrespectful?
- Why are we basing all of this off of that one scene from Book 5 chapter 8 of the Warrior Princess of Zaldaria series? Surely there should've been a Galpedia entry on this sort of etiquette?
- Is it getting hot in here?

Addendum: [i]Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[/i]

Outwardly, she's all poise. And if there is a little colour in her cheeks as she binds Quar's hands together, it is probably just because of the confrontation with her mother.

Hopefully there will be more time to talk once they are in Quar's new quarters. Just down the hall from Isabelle's.
