He grins, he had no lines on this subject manner and was trying to go along with it. Her pulls hand away sharply and shoves it in his pocket, feeling a bit self-concious now. (NT) -- Lord Bowdyn, 17:29:03 05/19/01 Sat She too feels self-conscious, but her gaze doesn't waver. "Possibly, but I have yet to meet them again.
