Mensary Cant
A language of gestures, expressions, and motions employed by the Senators of Aurice in the Great Curial Hall to probe consensus on a matter under deliberation.
The signs of Mensary Cant are intentionally made to appear as commonly seen gestures, such as scratching the nose, putting the hand to the brow, placing the index finger on the chin, shrugging a single shoulder, finger over a yawning mouth, palm over a yawning mouth, right hand scratching the outside of the left hand, and so forth. It is considered poor manners to make manifest gestures during sessions of the Senate, but Mensary Cant skirts the issue with its inherent ambiguity. In fact, it is considered poor manners to bring attention to another's use of Mensary Cant in open session of the Noble Senate.
