Enrapt

Enrapt Social Apprentice 300 hours You can gain and hold someone's attention. An apprentice can tell an engaging tale to an audience, or get the target involved in talking about himself. No important information is revealed--the idea is to distract, not interrogate. Nor does this skill mean that the story itself is good (that is the province of the Storytelling skill), but how well you can engage the audience. This is primarily a performance-before-an-audience type of skill. The journeyman learns how to get the audience gathered or get a solo target's attention in the first place. A master of this skill no longer needs words; her body language, gestures, or gaze can get and hold someone's attention. For this skill to be successful, the target or audience must at least be neutrally disposed towards the character. Hostile words or deeds will break this attentiveness, as will loud noises or the smell of smoke.
