What you prefer is a mush pose. What you don't prefer is a "rp-allowed but don't expect much because we haven't coded any support for it" type of game.

An RPI falls between the two. With an RPI, you can't do -exactly- what you prefer, but you can do much more than what you don't prefer. Using your example:

Raising her eyes to YYY and fidgeting with her dress, XXX says, absentmindedly "No."
XXX asks, brows knitting in confusion as she turns to watch the fight in the square, "What are they doing?"

The reason it needs to be different, is to allow for the difference in languages. If this was said by a vulcan, in an RPI star trek game, it might look like this:

Raising her eyes to YYY and fidgeting with her dress, XXX says, in an unrecognizable language, "Vrp."
XXX asks, brows knitting in confusion as she turns to watch the fight in the square, in an unrecognizable language, "Klzt mer stef kaarg?"
