gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Normally in situations like this Ferrous would do her best to project a facade to mask her true feelings, but this one was different. She had nothing to gain by pretending, so as the man continued to speak, his words clearly meant to reel her in, Ferrous found her eyes narrowing in suspicion. Where was the catch? The hook was easy to see, but the tactic was odd. There was nothing stopping her from walking away.

And yet here she was not walking away.

In fact, it seemed he was willing to accept she might eventually walk away. How bizarre. He was leaving all the doors open instead of corralling her towards one. How did he expect to gain new members if he didn't herd them?

If she were being honest, though, she rather liked having all those options. It was hard to escape the sneaking suspicion that there might be trap hidden somewhere in there, but if Ferrous set her paranoia aside for a moment, the appeal was there.

Her frown deepened as she thought. After a moment she snuck a peek at Zahir, which didn't do her any good as the cat remained passive in the hopes Ferrous would make the decision herself. "I might be," she hedged with a casual, dismissive sniff meant to undercut her interest. "If I were, what would be the next step?"
