Kaitlynn continued toward the door, even after seeing people walk out of it. In the instant she realized that those entering the hallway were the masters of the cabal, her heart began racing, her mind went into overdrive analyzing every detail of her surrounding, and she had to remind herself to breathe. She knew that, despite rumors among the ungifted, they wouldn't eat her if she didn't bow low enough or anything like that, but it was still difficult not to be overwhelmed and a little intimidated at the thought of seeing all of them at once.
Moments before she got beyond what most would consider a polite distance, she bowed low, holding the subservient pose for exactly seven regular heartbeats, which meant it was closer to 20 at her current rate, which was slowly declining now that she had reached her destination. when she rose again, she did not meet the gaze of the masters in the hall, such was an honor unsuitable for one of her rank unless asked or commanded to do so, nor did she allow herself to speak just yet, partly out of respect, but also out of fear of making a fool of herself by babbling in front of them.
