[I]“Miss Leclair, I… do pardon me for being so forward, but would you mind showing us your talents? After reading about you in the paper, why, it was a tremendous shame I wasn’t able to see you perform there. But to have the opportunity now would be… simply exquisite.”[/I]

"Yes, of course, Lord Dumont." Selan began to comply, but her eyes drifted to Kenneth, and to the monitors that she had not seen until now. Marcus was eyeing them occasionally as well. She didn't know what the devices were, but she certainly recognized the familiar shapes on the screen, particularly that of the white-haired woman.

[I]Why would he be watching them...?[/I]

She left her seat and began to walk closer to the fireplace so they could all see her. With her back turned, her mind was working a mile a minute. Her main problem was that there was no doubt she would be recognized if she fell back into speaking in her first language, and they didn't need the unnecessary attention from a man like Neil Hunter. The more doubt she could cast on her identity, the better. But most importantly, if she could just [i]capture[/i] the attention of the three men as well as Lady Vasco, she could "soften" their minds somewhat, perhaps entice them to be a little looser with information. At the very least, she aimed to impress Dumont in particular. On the downside, there was essentially no way to communicate with Marcus, to let him know not to listen or to look.

The fireplace cast a seductive glow behind Selan, highlighting her as she [url=http://www.tubechop.com/watch/2460759]crooned and danced in place once again[/url]. To Lady Vasco's annoyance, Selan's movements were much more suggestive and upfront than her previous performance, barely looking at her or Marcus.
