It's definitely a Raksura thing, and Stone is really not that bad about it-- except with Gale, or Moon. Have fun learning about the way everyone hauls each other around in Indigo Cloud, Gale. "Just be polite. Don't move too quickly, and don't stare too hard. Try not to look too much like a predator. I know that's hard."
Stone lets him go, turning back to look him over, then offers some more specific advice: "Keep your shoulders loose and your hands still, either clasp them or put them on me, that'll show you aren't likely to lash out. You can make eye contact with anyone who isn't a queen, you can tell them because they only wear jewelry and don't have a real groundling form. Also, they're taller than everybody else." Gale will probably feel a queen's presence immediately, knowing his empathic abilities, but Stone still has to make sure.
