>"Good evening to you three.

>I may be alarming,
>but the town is charming.
>Though things began a bit rough,
>would you care to join me?"
Amy and Sami exchange glances, then turn to Nem who says "They always talk like that,"
Sami cocks her head to one side.
Sami: "They"?
Nem: Good evening, Zome. These are my friends Sami and Amy. Sami, Amy -- may I introduce Zome, a Deep One who has informed me that they have a dozen penises and an extraordinarily complex vagina. So yes, "They".
Sami: ... interesting.
Nem: Will you excuse us for just one moment?
Nem turns, presumably to speak to the other two in confidence. You hear Sami hiss "Nem, you're being RUDE," with Amy chiming in "It's not a good idea to be rude to faeries and their kin, especially... well, I don't know if Zome is Unseelie or not but it's just not a good idea" with Nem objecting quietly with "No, this can't wait!"
As a matter of fact, it's pretty clear that all three have underestimated your ability to hear their conversation, probably mistakenly betting on the fact that you don't have ears. What you do listen with however is just as good as what they use.
Sami: Nem, what the hell.
Nem: I don't know if I can do this.
Sami: Said the avatar of Death, Black Wolf, etc, etc. Yes you can.
Nem: Zome smells terrible.
Sami: Zome smells of the sea, it's not that bad.
Amy: C'mon Nem. You'll hurt her feelings.
Nem sighs.
Nem: Aside from the smell, what do you think?
Sami: ... honestly? I like her.
Nem: "They".
Sami: Whatever, I see two sets of good sized tits and the dicks are hidden.
Nem: I think Zome's just trying to get into my pants.
Sami: Nem, everyone wants to get into your pants, but Zome doesn't give me the vibe of anyone who would do try anything violent. I get a real feeling that rape is beneath her. If she's getting into your pants, she's gonna charm them off you first.
Nem: I'm not comfortable about this.
Amy: We're here, and we will protect you.
Sami: That reminds me, why didn't you bring Macha along instead? She's a lot more intimidating.
Nem: I wanted someone with common sense, Sami. Macha's more a girl than I am.
Sami: Why not Rekki?
Nem: It's kind of awkward to bring another man along, don't you think? Besides, I thought you two might like to have a night out together at the same time. You like Mericudian food, right?
Amy: Nem, that's very sweet.
There is a pause.
Nem: Everyone's trying to get into my pants?!
Sami: Well, anyone with taste at least. This isn't the time, but I'm just saying just because people would very much enjoy getting into you pants doesn't mean they're bad or dishonorable people.
Sami turns back to you suddenly and gives you a wink.
Sami: We're almost done, Zome. Nem's just a little nervous since this is her first date and all. I'm sure you know how the neglected pretty ones are like their first time out.
Sami: Stop being rude, Nem. Say hello, enjoy a nice meal and see where it goes from here.
As they turn Nem gives you a shy, shaky smile. Sami sits next to you, Nem sits across from you, and Amy sits across from Sami. You can smell Amy's pheromones in the air; something in the conversation pleased her greatly. While they're not directed at you, the scent is rather stimulating and you're sure it will have a subtle effect on the entire table.
A number of thoughts cross your mind as to what do do next:
1. Sami seems to be in your corner; attempt to recruit her as a wingman.
2. Encourage Amy to release more pheromones. She is almost certainly not conscious that she's doing it, so stimulating her psychologically is probably your best bet.
3. Lay the charm on Nem as Sami predicted you might.
4. Give her the gift now.
5. Order food first; you can chat while you're waiting.
6. Some other stray thought enters your head instead: _____________
