Of Wraiths and Kings, and Friends and Rings (Calling All Nazgul)

Mahtaliel had just retreated back to her chosen corner with her generously refilled wine glass when she experienced the distinctly unpleasent feeling of someone watching her.

Irritated, though not alarmed (they were waiting for the reception to begin after all; besides conversing, what activity was there other than staring at fellow guests?) she turned and made a visual sweep of the hall.

The new professor standing by the window caught her gaze and returned it, full force.

Mahtaliel supressed a smile, and didn't look away. A staring contest while waiting was better than nothing...
