Yet there was something about the way she was acting that didn't fit the information he'd gotten from his spell and what he'd previously seen in her eyes.<br/><br/>She had seemed so proud, so wild before, yet now she was timid, not even looking him in the eyes. What could bring about such a change? Was it an act? Or perhaps this was what she was like after her nerves calmed down. Either way it was better than if she were still waving that knife around and shooting poison darts.<br/><br/>If it was an act, then so be it.
