And that is your option, as it should be.  Conversely, Talana and I never 
escort, or even accompany, one another Court unless there is some 
overarching reason (I'm carrying something for her, or vice versa, that sort 
of thing).  Our philosophy is that we are there for the other, even if we 
are sitting in the crowd - and quite honestly whatever she or I did to get 
called up is not the fault of the other :)
