Negotiation

Several awkward minutes of silence passed as the Sect Master was slowly tapping her sharp nailed index finger on the wooden handrest of her chair.

The silence was loud, enough that you could hear a pin drop, and every time she tapped her finger, it reverberated through the room making some sort of invisible pressure. She was trying to assert her position.
