Naomi's eyes flicked back and forth across the ballroom as she tried to absorb what was going on around her. Things had settled after the initial anxiety triggered by the abrupt blackout, but there was still a feeling of unease ; the notion that something was brewing just under the surface of a placid sea, but vision not clear enough to comprehend what it was.

"You seem to be handling this quite well," she remarked, the statement a meaningful one, as she was all too aware of how he might react if he was not handling it. She took Xavier in, observing him there in the dark. "Do you suppose our new friends are what they seem?" She asked, remaining sotto voce.
