The alarm bells in Ahi's head went off, her breath suddenly tensed, " A-a-A.ja " she stuttered.
There was a strange tension in the air emanating from both of them, unlike their previous interactions under the same circumstances.
It's not like- that, it was her first time for Ahi being alone with Aja, in a closed space, where he'd corner her like he is doing now....In fact, Ahi got used to these situations, which is why she always acts calm instead of being flustered.
But, in this case- it actually made her nervous.
Her face looked tranquil, on the surface- But upon closer examination, one could clearly see the ripples that were being stirred cracking the usual facade she exhibits.
Why would Aja say that?
' Her eyes betrayed her.' was his answer, as they were struggling to meet his penetrating ones, for some reason.
How?
Simple~ Ahi always looks Aja in the eye, no matter how intimidating/oppressive his gaze usually is.
