"I am unimaginably flattered to be in the presence of such pulchritude," she smiled in reply. "To think that your planet has so much to offer, so much beauty, so many delights, and that I was fortunate enough to come here...surely this will be the highlight of my tour." She stiffened for an instant, her hand going to the ruffles over her chest as though some fleeting pain had touched her, and then regained her composure.

She stared at the Maiden with wide guileless eyes, apparently hypnotized by her beauty. "Simply to know that the Orb is in a setting that befits it - this magnificent planet - sets my heart at ease." She sighed, and again her hand crept to her chest.
