Fidgeting with Hands: This is the body's attempt to escape.
I think it's a nice way to describe Padma's feelings without having her actually say "I don't like to be in this awkward situation"
Skewbrow:
A disturbing thought: the real reason Padma is moving to Cal to grandma's is that the matriarch has arranged her to get married to a dude the family had selected a long time ago. That would explain the wringing of hands. Also, she's reluctant to tell the real reason, 'cause "her friends just wouldn't understand." I apologize for all the real and implied prejudice towards customs of foreign cultures that this post reveals.

That site also says something interesting (under "The Body: Clamping the neck") about Marten's classic gesture. -- Interesting site. I had a couple bosses (thankfully no longer) who probably swore by this, to the point it was impossible to tell them anything because they'd made up their minds as to what you were *really* saying.

This coming from a universe where anthro PC's run amok, some guy has a working space station, and random fairies running around (The pixie kind, not the gay kind).

For the first time since I started reading (#1804 and #1805, before going on the looooooong archive binge), I feel like Steve actually has a point I can agree with. :P
