"What is even implicated in that rule besides the shyness? What should I be expecting here?"

He smiles at Ranata. "I thought you said no hints?"

"I could just have not been exposed to it, with my family," he says, amused. "As far as I know, none of them were members. Or my education was lacking, either one."

"...You will want to read Wikipedia on this one. It's not so much a thing with a formal membership. At least not in recent years."

"No, I think I give up, just tell me. Unless you're certain I'm about to get it any second now."

"...Well, I don't think that, but..." Isabella sighs, glances at Adarin.
