Herriot only growled before getting to his feet. He wanted to chase Artie for an explanation, but he didn't want to be seen chasing a woman to her room. Even if he stomped three steps up, he decided against it. He just turned behind him and saw the onlookers. A growl then came out. "Did you find what you're looking for?!"
The crowd moved hurriedly, but Selvig stayed and watched Herriot walk away to a further wing on the first floor. What made the Latodine prince wonder was that… the stairs were so wide. If Artie took a few steps to the left, a single inch of her dress wouldn't even touch Herriot's immediate space. Why did she have to push him?
