Scarlet was about to issue an apology to John for Blank. Ready to blame space madness, when her husband, the man she did marry, did instead. But the meeting had started out bad. She should have never stayed behind. Maybe it wouldn't have started out with stick measuring.
"I think this whole meeting got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you two start over, this time with a proper hostess? See how it goes from there. I'm sure the same mistakes wont be made." Scarlet hoped there would be no more 'mine is bigger than yours'.
She dipped down in a slight curtsy, because she couldn't go down any farther. "I am Scarlet, and this is my husband Blank. Sometimes he's a goof," She gave the mentioned man a glance that didn't hide one bit of love she had for him. "But usually he's harmless. And I think he would prove a very useful ally for venturing up to wheel five. I've only seen him bend for one spectre and she might have been a very naughty one."
