 Helicon House Companion | Second Paragraph |
|---|---|
 Starry-Eyed Scoundrel | The Scoundrel's eyes gleam at the prospect before him. |
 Stormy-Eyed Scoundrel | The Scoundrel's eyes smoulder at the prospect before him. |
 Master Jewel Thief | Your spouse lingers solicitously by the door, ready to relieve anyone of spare trinkets as they pass. |
 Celebrated Artist's Model | The Celebrated Model lies on one of the divans, in exactly the pose she adopted for 'Venus Retiring'. A few of the guests exclaim at the resemblance. |
 The Admiralty Lackey | The Admiralty Lackey refuses to partake, citing the Admiralty's policy of random testing. He is sweating profusely. |
 Infamous Mathematician Roguish Semiotician Flexible Intelligencer Joyful Charter Clerk | Your spouse sits on the edge of one of the divans, seemingly undecided about whether to join in the honey-sipping. |
 Blooming Wallflower | The Blooming Wallflower takes a seat where no one will give him honey but no one will order him out, either. |
 Joyful Illuminator | Your wife scans the various guests laid out on the divans. You suspect she's picturing which would look best illustrated – and with what. |
 Soothing Palaeontologist | Your spouse looks unexpectedly eager – they are not generally too devoted to honey-sipping. "But I've heard that if you sip the honey here, you see ancient beasts as though they were alive," they say. Well then. |
 Platonic Partner in Crime | Your partner in crime meets your eye, knowing just what you're planning. |
 A Bewildering Procession of Companions, Lovers, Suitors, and Paramours | Your companions crowd the room, using up fully half the available divans. |
 Both your spouses | Your spouses take over one of the divans, examining the crowd of honey-sippers. |
 Your Spouse, Returned Your Lover, Returned Your Brother, Returned Your Daughter, Returned | Your companion reaches for one of the small honey-spoons, assuming perhaps that it is another culinary treat of the Neath. You intervene just in time to prevent them from taking a solo journey for which they are not prepared. |
 Esoteric Accomplice | Your assistant looks intrigued at the sight of the honey. Is it different from the ordinary stuff? How? And how might she investigate? |
 Fabulous Accomplice | Your assistant brightens at the sight of the honey. |
 Genre Painter | The Genre Painter rarely partakes in honey. But being here, with you, is an occasion to indulge. |
 Prescient Automatist | The Prescient Automatist is no stranger to honey, these days – in moderation, it is a valuable hypnotic tool. |
 Noman | Your Noman lurks, silent. |
 Player Spouse | Your spouse takes a seat, saving room for you. |
