She was due to touch down on Persephone in less than three hours time, and still she had so many proposals to choose from. Any number of well-to-do men ( and occasionally women ) in Alliance society could request the services and comfort of a Companion for a time...and any number of outlandish methods were employed. Lailari had had many offers over the years, but preferred the idyllic, nomadic lifestyle of the traveling Companion more than her sister kin in the chapter houses. The 'verse was too exciting to not see.
One proposal at last caught her eye. Listening to his earnestness, his boyish charm, she could not help but smile. Such inexperience with the fairer sex led the young noblemen - some scarcely more than boys - to seek out the Guild. Lailari was not one to turn down such proposals often, preferring the innocence and wonder in the eyes of the younger generation to the haughty expectations of other gentlemen.
Eagerly, she sent a wave on to her prospective client for the evening, letting him know of her acceptance of his proposal. There would likely be the usual disbelief, perhaps a modest declaration of unworthiness for some reason. But Lailari had heard them all before, and was well versed to divert such self-effacement.
A Companion chooses her clients....that's Guild law.
