Zamian was caught off guard by Mira's response. He stilled for a moment, processing her anger, then mirrored her annoyance. "Why would you do that? Do you know how scared I was?" From the look in her eyes, he could tell that she had genuinely been frightened. He hadn't expected her to react that way; if he had, he might not have played his little joke. Yet, despite his initial concern, he found her reaction oddly cute. It was surprising to him that Mira could be scared to that extent.
