Intriguing. She was closed off, vague, they seemed to be put off by each other strangely. Why? She preened, and he stood, his glacial eyes still wandering from her form to the shadows in the wood.
At his question, she too seemed to become agitated. Her glare pierced right through him. Despite her words of gladness, he felt like they dripped with venom somehow. Ah...

He got the distinct feeling that her confrontational gaze meant far more than her words.
