Lady Sinclaire's Mansion

[Sandra]
Placing her empty glass on a passing by tray carried by one of the servants, she quietly walked up behind Hiram remaining an unobtrusive distance from him and the new arrivals, waiting to be properly introduced.

[Aurora]
Aurora blinked, then blushed as her senses returned to the plain of flesh.

"Dr. Lazarus!  It's good to catch up with you. We were invited to a new friend who moved in, couldn't pass it up," she smiles conspiratorially at Mitsuko.

[Sandra]
Sandra stands back watching the scene unfold seeing the distant gazes from the new arrivals. It also seemed the good doctor was caught off guard as well for whatever reason judging from his lack of response.  Then the dreaded 'pregnant party pause' happened... those moments at social gatherings where everyone just stands there with awkward grins waiting for the next topic, any topic, to come up.

'Well girl,' she thought to herself.  'You aren't going to get to know anyone new standing around waiting at this rate.  Let's see if we can't speed this up a bit, shall we?'

"It seems the cat got the good doctor's tongue for some reason," she says from behind Hiram as she steps forward. "So it looks like I'll just have to take the initiative and introduce myself instead. Sandra Scoland, recent Gotham transplant," she says with her trademark 'meeting a new client smile' and holding out her hand to Aurora.

[Aurora]
Aurora smiled much more shyly, she fought the urge to glance back at Mitsuko.  She hated meeting new people in such a big place, much preferring the spirits she'd been talking to a moment before... her senses were still so full and open, but she steeled herself to the newness of meeting other people.  "Aurora," She says simply, smiling, accepting Sandra's hand.

[Mitsuko]
Aurora feels Mitsuko's hands on her shoulders, the girl leans gently on her from behind, peering over her shoulder. The Girl's presence and her raw spiritual energy slightly easing her self conscious discomfort. Somehow she knew the Oriental girl was grinning broadly back there.

[Aurora]
Aurora needed that, and visibly relaxed enough that her eyes shifted to green from the near grey-black they had been a moment before.

[Sandra]
Sandra looks somewhat perplexed for a moment noting how the woman relaxed suddenly. While that was something she had seen and worked with on more occasions she could count, the change in her eye color was something she had never seen before. Or at least not to that degree of extremes anyway. It was then she realized she was staring.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me," Sandra says as she releases Aurora's hand, "I don't mean to stare, but your eyes. They're beautiful. I have seen eyes change color before, but generally they stay within the same color range.  I have never seen eyes change so quickly, or as drastically, as yours. Have they always done that?"
