"The pleasure is mine!" Finn says brightly, showing the openness of youth. Again, he inadvertently glances at Aziza's tail before giving a nervous chuckle himself.

"I'm sorry, I really don't mean to be rude. It's just that...to be honest, I've not seen so many different kinds of people before.   Where we're from, the only reptiles...erm..."

He again looks embarrassed before quickly correcting himself, gesticulating. "...T-that is, the only people we have that are like yourself are the Snow Serpents, and even they're quite different. And the only ones I've ever known are my sister and my other mother."

He glances at the book in Aziza's arms, not wanting to pry in case it stirred up more trouble than she already appeared to be in.

Both Hyngwar and Moki burst into laughter at the Satyros' statement, and a thin smile spreads across even Paldis' pale face.

"Dämn, I like dïs girl alrædy!" Hyngwar says.

Arlmar starts at the outburst, pivoting to the others in anger, but then he stops himself as the mood of the gathering takes hold of him. He chuckles a bit and turns back to the Satyros.

"Well...with the right company, any drink will do..." his eyes roam her body for a moment, "...But not this time. We meet the Governor within the hour, and it wouldn't make us look well if I stumbled in.  But I won't say no if you want to bring me a mead and keep me company."

His embarrassment is gone, replaced by the congeniality of the occasion and the smouldering looks of his new company.
