Though Reinette was attempting to take in the complete picture of the man before her, she could not help but get caught in his contradictions. The captured her like delicate fabric snagged upon a rough, unfinished surface. He stood securely in his space, easily inhabiting it and obviously not unsettled by her presence.
He was relaxed, the casual lift of his shoulders enough to cause the line her her own back to sharpen in retaliation.
And yet for all that there was a sharpness in his eyes. The color, light reflected and refracted. Caught again, but in a different manner all together.
She took a single step, to better study him.
"Because I can have little patience for those that stand on the perimeter of life. That allow of to happen to them, rather than happening to it. Sightseeing."
Her mouth smoothing into something, thought not quite a smile.
