Sialillion scans the room and nurses her drink, occasionally picking  
at the crumbs on her plate.  She appears listless.  She returns Max's  
looks with a quizzical expression, and waits for the rest of the party  
to put their stuff in their rooms, and for Max to have a free moment  
so they can talk about whatever's bothering him.
