[@Stern Algorithm] I know what you were going for with your wish, and thanks for clarifying anyway, but the way you've described it is exactly why I think my character is likely to try and tag along or look cool for Salomea, perhaps even more so than if her words affected her hypnotically. Kei is a sucker for people more suave than she is. By her own volition, she'd be attracted to Sal's way of saying things so that people listen to and remember. Especially because she isn't always right- Gosh, I wonder how she does that?

True though their interaction doesn't have to be rude, we can leave it somewhat ambiguous.

By the way, just for my own curiosity, who's waiting for somebody else or some time to pass before they make their next post?

Nothing anymore. I'm currently writing one up.
