Liatris wasn't exactly sure how to answer, but noted that his body language didn't seem to imply that he was any sort of an immediate danger to her.

She simply wasn't sure of herself enough yet. It was odd, having felt so confident, strong, and powerful just two weeks before. Now, she felt insignificant and uncertain of her own place here, wherever this here was.
