Rylan continued to watch him, ears pushed forward, eyes tracking him in the small space he moved around in. He was diligent, methodical even, movements were not wasted. It was…unsettling. She had not considered the consequences of being alone with Elijah; he was typically too intense for her to handle when she was hiding behind Jean, and now she gone and agreed to be alone with him.
Hmm.
The more he cleaned, in what seemed like annoyance as opposed to actual duty, the more her question got caught behind her teeth, all clenched tight. The tips of her ears tingled in her nervousness, tail curled against the line of her spine that was a rod of perfect posture.
The way he adjusted his glasses made her nervous.
The list of things that made her nervous was admittedly very long.
He sat next to her, a respectable distance between them as he got into a position that resembled comfort. Rylan's tail bristled, the silver fur puffing up and she hoped he didn't notice. Her fingers curled around the edge of the seat, knuckles turning white, clinging as she was known to do.
"What?" A singular word, more of a squeak, springing forth before she could organize her thoughts into something useful. She blinked at him, ears falling lopsided. A second passed. "Oh. Oh. Yes." She paused, eyes falling away from him to sweep over the books he had organized. She was faltering, losing her momentum as more time passed.
"Why do you think you are different from them," she asked, suddenly, ears pushing forward. She looked at him again, elongated canines having pushed into her bottom lip. "Miss Rhodes, uhm, she called them pets," she clarified, having realized her previous lack of clarity, though her choice of wording implied that she also thought of herself differently. "Why are you different from... this," she pulled one hand from the bench, to gesture shortly in the space before them.
That was a mess, and probably wildly inappropriate, and she probably should have thought this out better. But here they were, because clearly he didn’t hate her enough already.
