"You are wary of me," Cassian Redwood remarked as they walked down the quiet corridor toward the lounge with Emira walking a step behind him.
His tone was casual, but there was a faint amusement in it that made Emira tense up, as if he knew something she didn't.
"I am not..." she was about to deny about being wary of him but he interrupted her with a smile as he said, "I'm not asking. I know you are. I can feel it- the way your steps slow a little when I get too close, the way you keep your eyes on the floor instead of looking at me. Even now you are probably cursing your Luna because she ordered you to come with me. You are wary of me, Emira. But what I don't understand is why."
