its called 'the look' - it takes honing, but if you get it right it can cause widespread panic. you have to get the following feeling into it 'if-you-don't-go-away-right-now-i'm-going-to-put-this-shovel-in-an-anatomical-place-that-will-see-you-asleep-on-your-front-for-the-rest-of-your-natural-life' and combine it with a little bit of 'this-ditch-is-just-the-right-depth-for-you-to-become-a-future-archaeological-find-in'. works everytime, especially if you really imagine doing said things, because you get a vaguely crazy smile and a glazed look in your eyes as you picture it. its very worrying for the person, who if you got it right will back away slowly......
Is this like the one the Lioness uses,where her mouth smiles but her eyes say beware
the voice is always pitched low and polite..............shudder
