He gazed at her readily, fully expecting her to relent with a smirk and a reluctant sigh. Surely she wouldn't be able to resist him, no matter what kind of mood she was in. But his smile veritably slid off his face and his tail stilled at the harsh tone of her voice. Despite his insistence, she demanded to be left alone.

He stared in the direction that she had gone, feeling very much like his heart had sank to his feet. He had no idea what he had done to upset her, and he strongly considered going after her. It was obvious that he had already pushed her to her limit, however, and his paws remained rooted to the ground like lead weights.

He wasn't exactly sure how to feel -- he was angry and sad and most of all, he felt abandoned. Her stinging words and abrupt egress reminded him too much of his last interaction with Tevinter, and while this didn't have the same finality, it still caused his stomach to clench.
